So any other languages for Firefox OS except JavaScript? Possible if not desireable?
Any language that compiles down to JavaScript should be fine. I've personally been chomping at the bit to write a FirefoxOS app in ClojureScript; if I end up writing any apps on my own time for Firefox OS, it'll probably be with ClojureScript and Om (i.e. on top of ReactJS). In the end, it's still JavaScript, but to the developer, the experience couldn't be more different. Performance should be on par, or better, at least in the case of ClojureScript.
You'll likely never see any non-JavaScript languages on Firefox OS, only because the runtime just isn't designed for anything else. But I do think that JavaScript-as-the-assembly-of-our-time is inevitable and already here, so if you can find a dialect of your favorite language that compiles down to JS, you'll be all set.
