As already pointed out, this kind of issues shouldn't be discussed within 
the Board. As for me I am not actually a good programmer and I doesn't 
expect to be one in the near future since my daily work and topic is law, 
therefore I would throw the ball to the GNOME developers. Which language
is the best in town is something really subjective and as long as we see 
someone putting some efforts in developing through Go or Perl 6, we will do everything
we can to provide him the needed resources to keep his work and contributions.
GNOME is also about innovation and innovation starts from new ideas, that’s where
the Board should come in: giving a warm welcome to new ideas, possibilities and 
intuitions providing economic support and anything else needed, it’s something the 
Board will never refuse to.

cheers,

Andrea
