Firebase emulator local debugging with language other than javascript/typescript

I have successfully deployed and tested firebase functions by deploying c#. My question is that when i set up local emulator it only allows me to choose between javascript and typescript? Shouldn't the emulator support all languages that firebase allows users to deploy with?

The Firebase CLI and tools only support JavaScript-based deployment and testing. All of its code is written for nodejs, which run JavaScript only.

If you deployed something written in C#, then you didn't use any Firebase tools at all. The Cloud Functions product is primarily part of GCP, and you likely used the gcloud CLI to deploy them. Firebase provides an entirely different thing. It just adds tool and SDKs on top of the core Cloud Functions product. (Note that "Firebase Functions" isn't really a product at all - you'll not see that term anywhere in the documentation. Firebase's additions to Cloud Functions are referred to as "Cloud Functions for Firebase".)

If you want to continue working with Cloud Functions in a language other than what's supported by the Firebase CLI, then you'll have to find other tools for that.

I suggest reading: Firebase & Google Cloud: What’s different with Cloud Functions?
