I don't know them well enough - though the little I know of libart makes it seem
as though it might be possible. The problem is that learning any of them well
enough
to make a properly informed decisions would take full days that I don't have.
Now if a libart lover wanted to show me a real example of how it could be used
to
our advantage, I might put in the effort. But I really think that just
suggesting
possible tools that we could use is pointless - there are hundreds of candidate
software libraries/languages etc.
The best we can do is keep an open mind and be prepared to give a fair look at
anything
an enthusiast wants to do (and encourage enthusiastic developers if we can).
