In:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-01/msg01400.html

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."
