I agree with Michael, if one day we rewrite the library in another
language, it will
be another library, GeoTools no more.
That said, the situation of languages for the VM is so much in flux that I
don't
see any of the new languages taking over anytime soon. An approach like
GeoScript, different library addressing some of the JVM languages (and it's
not a case that it's not just one) makes more sense to me.
