Arcko, cloud media isn't the end all, but developers like to work on cool projects. It's hard to get developers to work on something that will become more and more niche. It'll be like asking some developers now to developing some apps for the old Palm OS or Blackberry. Porting XBMC to a non C++ environment would be like moving a mountain compared to that.
I've never looked at the XBMC code, but if there was a good separation of the UI engine from the media engine, it maybe worth rewriting the UI engine in non C++. There could be benefits as media consumption changes for XBMC to stay relevant if that happens.
