Mark says:
 "In this case, the SC decided that C and C++ would be the only
 release-critical languages. That's not an indication that Ada,
 Fortran, Java, and Objective-C are inferior languages in the eyes
 of the SC; it's merely a reflection of the fact that the focus of
 the SC, as an agent of the FSF, is on making the GCC a great
 compiler for the GNU system and the Linux kernel most of which is
 written in C and C++. Furthermore, the focus on C and C++ reflects
 the desires of the various Linux and other free operating system
 distributors."
