Well, the haters could always reimplement the whole infrastructure in their language of choice, wouldn't they? It's been done at least once before for ideological reasons (and in C none-the-less) by the FSF. It should be even easier to give it a go in modern languages. I bet you can even get funding if you can write a compelling case that the wheel is actually broken!!!
