As I recall, WP7 supports C# but does not support any of the .Net dynamic languages (Ruby or Python). Are any other programming languages besides C# supported? Could an app be developed using Boo?

Officially, only C# is supported so far. Unofficially, any language that can compile to a verifiable managed assembly (the verifiability requirement applies to all dependencies, too!) is good - so you should be able to use e.g. C++/CLI, F#, Delphi Prism...
