Well, languages like C or Java would be completely unsuitable as an
Emacs extension language because they're non-interactive and static.
If you couldn't extend Emacs interactively, then Emacs wouldn't really
be fundamentally different from, say, vim.
Python might be adequate. But it's less powerful than Lisp, so in
that sense it would be a step in the wrong direction.
