Though not SMC, the Visual Panels project is attempting to do just
that. (Actually, if services are all you're interested in, it
already does do that and is attempting to do a lot more.)

Visual Panels is written in Java, and we're quite happy with the
performance we're getting. Java performance has improved a lot, and
that's not just because computers are getting faster. I also think
it's fair to say that most of SMC's sluggishness has little to do
with the language the UI is implemented in.
