The question is not whether this is doable (it trivially is, since it has been done in another language), but whether someone will do it.
IMO writing and optimizing ~10 kLOC is not something one does just to prove a point about Julia; so unless someone has an interest in the actual tool itself, it is very unlikely that it will be done.
But that said, I think we should learn to wrap our heads around the fact that Julia is becoming a mature language that already has a track record of being fast and convenient, so there is not a big pressure to prove this in every context if there are no other payoffs. Because of this, I find it kind of heartening that people are not stressing too much about the shootout benchmarks, because I think it means that they are just busy using the Julia productively, or improving the language or the libraries.
