No one can say that the rules will positively allow it, however every indication we have been given (we being the beta teams) is that yes, can will likely be available to be used.
HOWEVER, and this is a BIG however, it will not be directly supported - it will be done through a series of plugins written by a person volunteering their personal time to get it in place. In addition, a new black jaguar may or may not be availble, as well as multiple firmware updates for the gray jaguars.
Using CAN this year will not be a trival pursuit - it will take some effort for the team who decides to use it.
That and more info on programming languages for this year can be found on the beta test forums on the official first 2010 website, linked here:
