FWIW, I believe JEmacs' goal is to run ELisp (unmodified hanoi.el
work) so there is no need to rewrite Gnus.

But since it is java, we'd get access to portable libraries (Curys
SASL, a nice widget library etc).  It's also multithreaded, and uses
Unicode.  If you can compile python or perl into java bytecode, you
could run that code in JEmacs too.

(Oh.  What's that?  Slow?  Oh yes.)
