+1, think it makes sense to widen the community/ecosystem to JVM languages
(which actually use java libs a lot) with their "idoms" and types support.
I also think it applies to Java BTW we should support in version >= 1.5
with annotation support which is used in 90% of cli libs today and enables

"Apache Commons is an Apache project focused on all aspects of reusable
Java components."
I feel we could expand from "reusable Java components" to "reusable JVM
