It was in C++, but suffered from two problems.  One was that I wasn't very
experienced in C++ programming, and made a few design mistakes, but the
other was that I didn't yet really understand the theory behind darcs, so
there were also some more fundamental mistakes.  It was a "working"
implementation, but extremely buggy both in that it didn't always do what I
intended for it to do, and in that my intended behavior wasn't correct.
