Is silverlight the only option for developing WP7 applications? What about Java? Or is there anything else that WP7 supports?
You have these options (as of now):
Ultimately, any CLI-based language can be used to build WP7 applications as long as it allows building WP7-specific assemblies (given the restrictions). Unoficially, it is known that there are native hooks and it is possible to use COM inside a WP7 app, but this is not yet a part of the public SDK and an application that implements a native layer that is not directly authorized by Microsoft will not even get through the approval process.
