Yes, definately.

Just C and Python (well, and probably in C++ with gtkmm with Vala if
bindings are made, since these are just compatible with C). Supporting
other interpreted languages as Ruby or perl would not be very difficult
from a technical point of view, but it does not make sense: embedding
many interpreters in an app means bloating memory usage and slow down
start-up time.
