Python, but I'm sure there are Ruby and Perl people lurking.
Perhaps not actually include the runtime, but at the very least
annotating parts of the code base to make it easier to generate
bindings for those language. Then, a tool could be run on that to
generate the bindings. Although I'd be happier if that were to be
integrated to the system directly -- possibly as a separate download.
But definitely maintained by Haiku. (*volounteering*)
