When seeing this title and before reading the article I had the reaction:
"This is already done. Google already rewrote Java. For Androi."

Now after reading the article I can quote: "Now is a good time to rewrite some
core components from scratch and insure that they're bug-free, rather than
patching the application from one version to another," Botezatu said." So it
about to rewrite SOME core components and NOT to rewrite Java completely from
scratch.

Even if you rewrite them from scratch, you probably would still have (new)
bugs, and some minor corner cases incompatibilities that would break the old
user code.
