To summarize: He mentioned a lack base posix utilities in these languages (posix compliant utilities), and that changes like this take a long time (stack protector took 10 years to implement), and that these new toolchains would dramatically increase build times (like haskell cgrep vs openbsd grep), and that openbsd requires that base can build base on all platforms and some of these languages won't work on some supported platforms (there wasn't enough address space on i386 for rust to compile itself, for example).
I realize some of this may be dated by now, but I assume the above are the types of concerns they would want to address.
On OpenBSD? I don't think it will happen any time soon. The developers seem pretty happy with C and instead enforce a strict code style, commit reviews, and auditing. There was a user on the lists a while back also running some static analysis and submitting bugs (moon-something, sorry, it was years ago).
