+1 here (I guess, I'm subliminally following the Apache project model of
making decisions ;-)
As for me, I wouldn't object to have all the core in Java - this is the
best stuff I've seen in 13 years since I started. Problems with
performance are easy to fix by following a simple procedure:
1. Find the bottleneck (90/10 rule).
2. Implement it in a more efficient native module.
Most important feature of Java, IMHO, is a good support for a design
model, everything else is secondary. Well, Javadoc is so obvious that I
forgot to mention it in the first place.
