In order to support a language in the core, the language runtime must
have these two non-negotiable properties:

    1) Fully thread-safe

    2) Embeddable

Otherwise, the best you can do is execute code in the other language in
a nsproxy outside of the nsd process space.

This is why I started work on nsjsapi, support for in-process
server-side JavaScript in AOLserver.  SpiderMonkey, the JavaScript
runtime, has both of those properties I listed above.
