What programming languages are supported by the Kura platform for developing IoT applications?

According to the Eclipse Kura website1, Kura is an extensible open source IoT Edge Framework based on Java/OSGi Therefore, it seems that Java is the main programming language supported by the Kura platform for developing IoT applications.

Several Kura components are in pure Java, others are invoked through JNI and have a dependency on the Linux operating system.
JNI stands for Java Native Interface. It is a programming framework that allows Java code to interact with code written in other programming languages such as C and C++. JNI is used to bridge the gap between the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the native code. It provides a set of tools and APIs for developers to write native methods and libraries that can be called from Java code. The use of JNI is common in situations where Java applications need to access system resources or hardware devices that cannot be accessed using standard Java libraries.
I think this help to know more checkthis out Eclipse IoT - an overview - YouTube

As of my knowledge, Kura primarily supports Java. Kura itself is built on top of the OSGi (Open Service Gateway Initiative) framework, which provides a modular and dynamic environment for running Java applications.
Yeah, Kura primarily uses Java as its main programming language for developing IoT applications, but some resources show that it also supports Python and JavaScript. However, these languages may not be as optimized or well-supported as Java.
