Actually, the "string" (is that a Java Freudian slip) justification for a rewrite is the "rethink" that occurs in the process.
I have never known of any rewrite that did not result in more efficient, smaller code/executables, and/or the correction of "undocumented features' and bugs.
On the other hand, porting to a new language almost always results in the creation of more horrifying things.

To paraphrase, "I don't know what the language of the future will look like, but it will be called C something or other."

While its not the question you asked, I know that attempts and some success have been made porting ACT-R to Java.
See: http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/workshops/workshop-2002/talks/AnthonyHarrison.pdf; or
                http://sourceforge.net/projects/jactr/


Normally, I am not in favor of implementing an existing tool in another language unless there is some string justification for it.

Hello,

Is there any thought, or have there been any discussions, of porting ACT-R over to C++?  I know I can see Christian rolling his eyes from here ;-).. But I think it would be a useful project for someone.
