Well, as you might already know I'm more then interested :) . There is already an effort integrating small subset of Java interface to APR: http://www.apache.org/~mturk/apr-java.tar.gz Also back in '03, I wrote an cpp interface for APR that was meant to be used for next generation JK3 connector written in CPP, but the idea was not accepted. http://www.apache.org/~mturk/apr-cpp.zip
AFAICS the OO effort will need two things: 1. Low level interface to a particular OO technology 2. High level or abstract interface equal on each technology. 3. APR api for loading OO language engine.
Most of this exists to some extent but is scattered across various ASF projects. For example perl developers have a code to load the engine, as well couple of commons/daemon project have that for Java. mod_aspdotnet has something similar too. IMHO this would be a good starting point to bring the effort to life.
