Brainfuck probably has an equal chance of being selected as C#. The problem is more that the APIs and all of the existing apps. Google can't just wake up one morning and decide that everything will be now in language XYZ because there are literally millions of apps for Android which have been written in Java against Java APIs. C# would also be an unusual choice for a company that does zero(?) C# work.

Now it's too late, but unlike Brainfuck, Google did consider C# as an option, see my comment (sibling comment to yours)
I don't know. Weirder things have happened. And we're talking about a decision with billion-dollar ramifications.
