All of these fail to qualify against the criteria of enough of us being familiar and comfortable with the language. The only languages besides Java that I think we could seriously consider for selected components are JavaScript (with Rhino), Python (with Jython), or possibly C(++) for some lower-level stuff. Even with these I suspect we'd turn off about 50% of the committers. BR, Jukka Zitting
