It's a balance.  Size utilization against use.  So, the questions I
would ask if I were a proponent for having an installed high level
language would be:

1) What useful software is there for this platform which has a
specifical language as a dependancy.
2) What is the absolute minimum installation required to achive this
functionality.

The smaller your core and the more useful stuff it contributes the
better chance you have of it being included by default.
