I think we should not include anything in the Emacs repository or
tarball that depends on Ada, Javascript, Rust, or anything other than
Emacs Lisp and C.  The GNU Project sees no problem in writing in those
languages, but including that code in Emacs would make difficulties
for users.

In ELPA, if a package is useful only in conjunction with language Foo,
I think it is ok if building that package depends on language Foo.
