[dev] ODF Toolkit for other languages than Java

I've been looking into ways to edit ODF files from my C# program and 
was surprised at how limited it currently is.  Considering ODF is an 
open format I'd have thought there would be a straightforward way to 
do it but it seems that unless you happen to be using Java (and can 
use this ODF Toolkit), you actually have to install and run an 
instance of LibreOffice - then communicate with it using the 
LibreOffice SDK - to edit these files which seems like a rather crazy 
way of doing things to me, especially on a server.  As the ODF Toolkit 
homepage acknowledges, this is a very heavyweight way to do things. 
Excel files, for instance, can just be edited directly using a library 
like EPPlus or NPOI.

Have there been any plans to port ODF Toolkit to other languages? 
Obviously in my case I'd like to see a C#/CLI version so I can just 
edit ODF documents in C# programs without running a whole LibreOffice 
install in the background, but porting it to Python, JS, etc. would 
also seem to be appropriate.
