There have been no news about this since more than a year ago.
If you are looking for alternatives to C/C++ to develop apps for DR devices, you can use lua [1] and vala [2] languages.
Lua is an interpreted and fast enough language, maybe easier, but lacks of DR features integration. I have not intention to continue with it, but for small self-contained scripts it could be very useful.
On the other hand, vala is my choice now. It's a language similar to C#, more difficult than python or lua, but it's faster and the apps can be easily integrated with DR features (menu, etc).
Vala compiler generates C code from vala sources, that is then converted to DR native code using the DR cross-compiler.
Vala is quite easy to use in Linux, but maybe hard in Windows. Anyway you would need a linux devel environment for the crosscompiler.
There is also a python 2.6 port [3], but it's slowness in DR devices made me to start packaging lua some time ago.
Hope it helps,
