I guess to answer that, you would need to first ask if it would be worth redoing the 4+ years of development that has gone into Cassandra. There have been many discussions about porting it to C/C++ and always is the same response; it's just not worth the rewrite for the incremental gain. Also, since Scala is in the JVM, the gain would really only be syntactical sugar. This is of course my own opinion.
