BTW, I was trying to jumpstart this discussion on the dev list in the
context of the related Summer of Code project:

We'll see if this generates wider interest.

The interesting part is "processMessage(ClientMessage)" - essentially
all communications (including queries and updates) are done using a

To estimate the level of effort ... with my current knowledge of the
framework it would probably take me 2-5 hours to rewrite a very basic
context-less query client in Java . There may be language-specific
caveats of course. And a learning curve...
I still have to try out the existing remote object persistence myself:
the possibility might present itself fairly soon, though.
When I get a better feel for the speed of the entire concept and it's
flexibility, I'll be able to comment more.
As far as development is concerned, it seems to be that the way to go
about it would be to define a minimum feature set, isolate the
existing Java classes which implement this functionality in the ROP
client and rewrite it class by class in something else. The first
"foreign" language to implement such functionality would best be
selected by the preferences of the people writing the code.
Implementations in other would probably be much more straightforward,
as the developers could litteraly try to rewrite a fairly small
collection of classes in another language. Just thinking out loud...
t..n.a.
