While all the languages you listed can run on the roboRIO, there isn't a great reason to bring most of them to FRC.

I could see arguments in favor of Python and C#, not so much the others. However, because they need to maintain a balance between offering a variety of languages and providing first class support for the available languages, I'm not holding my breath for more officially supported languages.
My expectation is that for the forseeable future, FRC will only officially support Java, C++, and LabVIEW.
