Is there some advantage to having lots of client implementations in various languages that I'm not aware of?
A specification and a reference implementation would be more generally useful, I think.
A C implementation isn't very useful when writing a java library since JNI ends up being really hard to use (as opposed to just dropping in a jar and having it work on any platform).
Even if we're all writing C, the library may not fit into an application in general. There are several event loop mechanisms and libraries for async programming in C. It's very likely that a C implementation would be inappropriate for someone's C-based application.
