Just a quick comment -- I haven't finished reading the whole thread -- but
this sentence don't hardly make no sense to me.   Shouldn't it be "If this
is not changing and we do not find another way, we will have to port _all_
source code to *Java*" ?

After all, C++ would be even worse, wouldn't it?
