Perhaps, but not for where wget is used: on numerous platforms as a
stand-alone downloadable tool, including on embedded and small-CPU devices.

Not if you count startup time, which is crucial for a program like
Wget. Memory use is also incomparable.
right. i was not suggesting to implement wget2 in Java, anyway ;-)
but we could definitely make good use of dynamic languages such as Ruby (my
personal favorite) or Python

Java is not likely. The most likely language is probably still C,
especially as that's where our scant human resource assets

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Honestly, Java would be a great language
for what wget does. Lots of built-in support for web stuff. However, I was
kidding about that. wget has a ton of great functionality, and I am a
reformed C/C++ programmer (or a recent Java convert). But I love using
to re-read some of the current Wget code tonight and start
playing around with my own attempts of a wget2. I think we should
simplify the name for this release to something like the `fetch`
command (which is available, btw ;-).
