Java is not likely. The most likely language is probably still C, especially as that's where our scant human resource assets are specialized currently. I have toyed with thoughts of C++ or Python, however - especially as the use of higher-level languages could allow more rapid development, which is nice, given our (again) scant assets. :) The truth is, it's too early to say, given that work hasn't even begun to have... begun. :D C still remains by far the most portable language (though of course, writing it portably is tricky ;) ). But that's a bigger issue for the existing Wget's purposes probably, than "new-fangled Wget 2".
