Any other types of programming languages?

Is Treehouse going to add more types of programming languages in the future? I understand that the website is primarily focused on web development, but are there going to be courses for the other languages out there needed for programming software? A couple that I mean include:

C

C++

C#

Maybe more Java?

TTH likes to focus on web/mobile development so seeing C/C++ courses is unlikely (although the first half of Objective-C Basics does briefly cover c).

Also C# is primarily windows oriented and .NET is not as popular as more open frameworks, so its unlikely they would do that either.

but those are just my thoughts, im not sure what TTH has planned.

There are more java courses planned, with Java Objects slated to be released in December

However, as a Microsoft product, .NET is extremely popular with big corporations who are already invested into the Microsoft ecosystem. .NET and its closed nature turn me off, but there's no denying that corporations like it. .NET has been taking ideas from Rails recently, though.

Objective-C is also very platform-specific. I hope they will give a course for c# as well.

Objective-C is like a super C with minimal changes , well with object orientation . They should re-do objective basics though because its a bad quality in my opinion so the learning there isn't really good.

If anything I think they will continue to focus on expanding their java library because it is cross-platform and can be used for many different applications. Not to mention it is extremely popular.
