(even though I'm not Hans ...)
No. At least TeX, lua and metapost will probably stay, so that already
adds to three languages :) :) :)
If talking about scripting (ruby, perl) ... in ideal world it should
all end up being lua only (until the next language comes to the
horizon), but there might not be enough motivation to rewrite *all*
the existing scripts, so some of the older scripts (texfont etc.) will
probably stay in ruby/perl for a while/forever unless somebody else
rewrites them or unless Hans will need them.
