The reason for having better support for C/C++ is that you shouldn't force developers to use tools that they would rather not. If you want more people to develop for your platform let them develop for your platform the way they are comfortable. Support C, Ruby, Pascal, Lua, Lisp, BASIC and even Logo. Not perl though, That'd just be sadistic.
