You would still need to wait for someone to create a swig wrapper for your specific language. Also, it's unlikely you'd be able to write a report per se in a different language even if someone did write the bindings for you. The fact that we're using swig should make those bindings easier, but it's still a non-zero amount of work. Other-language bindings would let you do things like access your dsta file, but not write reports... Or at least not reports that would plug into gnucash itself.
