What programming languages to support?
for WASM, since it's hard to compile something on the fly natively, i've experimented with an interpreter, this one, and the results were great, it's plenty fast for a FC. You can take a look mostly here if you're interested.

Beginner Friendly Java Game Framwork ( not an full featured engine )
You could check out Omicron, i heard wonders about it!

What programming languages to support?
Support JVM and its languages: there are a lot of JVM languages out there (java, scala, etc), they all run on the same VM so with a single implementation you're likely supporting all of them. Mostly handly if your FC is also jvm. This is the route i'm going with my fantasy console Omicron, being mostly a java programmer myself. (bonus: you'll probably get an Android version running at a fraction of the price).

I've made WiseLoader, a classloader that creates a secure sandbox by whitelisting classes that can be loaded. Useful for loading third party plugins in wake of JEP 411: Deprecate the Security Manager
In my case, i'm using it in another project of mine: a java fantasy console named Omicron where you can make and distribute games that, tecnically, are similar to jars. They're loaded and executed within the "player" (the main app) but need to be sandboxed to be safe to use.
