The engine was coded in (almost) ANSI C by Id Software. Openarena uses the GPLed version called ioquake3. It can be compiled under different OSes (Win32 , Linux, NetBSD, Mac, etc.). However, the engine is only a small part of Openarena. Most of the new stuff  is not software but artwork (textures, MD3 models, maps, etc.).

C would be Judaism - it's old and restrictive, but most of the world is familiar with its laws and respects them. The catch is, you can't convert into it - you're either into it from the start, or you will think that it's insanity. Also, when things go wrong, many people are willing to blame the problems of the world on it.
