Adding the right language would lower the bar, IMHO. Cython is Python. It allows users with a Python background to implement C things without having to thoroughly learn C/and/ the CPython C-API first. So, the way I see it, rather than/adding/ a "third" language to the mix, it substantially lowers the entry level from the current two and a half languages (Python + C + C-API) to one and a half (Python + Cython).

As somebody who only has light exposure to C, I would very much like to have Cython be an option.
