To me it's not the resource usage of any such language as such on its
own. I'm living under the delusion (for the sake of argument) that a
python app and a mono app are comparable in their resource usage.

I think any language is fine for writing a Gnome app.  The issue is more
about what is officially put in a Gnome desktop release as such - how
many managed languages with their own runtime do we want as part of a
default Gnome desktop ?
