Sometimes the code just can't be isolated, sometimes it's
written in a weird language (like Java), sometimes it is too
dependent on the internal data representation of the language,
and sometimes there are licensing issues.

I don't think so. They will usually prefer to optimize it for
their interpreter. Unless, of course, it's a GNU project (which
is the case for eLisp).
