As a software developer I am frequent asked if I can do something like this. My answer is usually something like "yes" but with a followup question that "Should we do this?" Presumably there is some sort of use case for which extending fuseki to support other query languages might solve. Perhaps describing that use case would lead to an answer which describes how using jena or something that uses jena can solve that use case.

It is not in any obvious way part of the current remit for the Jena project. Are you interested in undertaking that work? --- A.
