Any plans for firebase to allow serverside socket connections from other languages e.g. Java?

Question
I appreciate you have the full REST API which is great but I wondered if it would be possible in the future to have a socket conenction from Java to firebase similar to the node.js version?
Thanks
Solution
We currently provide clients for JS (both for the web and for Node.js) and a REST API. Our intention is to eventually provide full real-time libraries for all types of clients and server languages. We don't have a Java library currently in the works, but we do intend to build one when time allows it.
OTHER TIPS
You can use a Java WebSockets Client to connect to Firebase if you're unhappy with the REST API. Under the hood, this is what node.js (i.e. the faye-websockets-node library) is doing.
