Unfortunately, it's done in such a way that all other programming
languages are at best second class citizens on Android.

Android supplies the NDK, which allows you to write native C and C++
code for Android, but that C and C++ code is seriously limited in
how it can directly interact with the Android system as a whole,
especially when it comes to trying to use the Android GUI widgets.

No prizes for guessing how I know this... :-)
