Hi, the only requirement regarding programming languages is that
"Applicants know their target programming language."..  there isn't
any requirement otherwise, but I think the fast majority are largely
C/C++.  There are bits of python here and there (piglit, for example..
possibly others that I don't know of).

But that doesn't mean a candidate couldn't suggest a different project
that is not on the list.
