Been holding this one back for awhile, but: Are there any talks, plans or otherwise on incorporating other languages for client-side scripting? I'd really just like to get away from JS in general :(

There are yes. I'll try to dig them up shortly.

IMHO it will never happen in the sense you imagine it but we'll see.

In the meantime you may want to check out emscripten (http://code.google.com/p/emscripten/). It is a JavaScript backend for LLVM which ultimately leads to the same functionality as having other languages on the client.
