There is one thing that may work.  We could ask to rewrite mc in another
programming language as proof of maturity of that language.  I hope some
e.g. Ruby programmer would take the challenge of implementing mc in a
few months.  The result would be maintainable, because otherwise it
would be a negative advertising for the language.

Maybe it should be permitted to modify an existing project (I believe
there is a file manager in Python) to match all significant features of
mc.  Although non-Python programmers would be at disadvantage in this
case.
