The most common language used for things actually written as part of the Fedora project itself is probably Python; most of QA's tools are in Python, as are most of the packaging-related tools. My personal take - as someone who had no coding background at all - is that the language isn't always the most important thing; there are actually a lot of commonalities between well-run projects no matter what language they're written in, and I tend to find the general process of figuring out why something goes wrong and how to make it stop going wrong is more about understanding those processes, and various different conventions between different projects and types of project, than particularly to do with the language that's used. You'll often find you can broadly understand what's going on with a bug without any formal grounding in the language at all. Just my perspective, though!
