"interfacing languages is a mess"

The little bit I have seen of multi language code would say that that holds, especially if the languages involved are not C and something else(What does a Python dictionary look like in Haskell? Answer: Crap unless you do a bunch of translation work). Debugging tools don't tend to work across language boundaries. etc. Maybe I gave up to quickly, but multiple languages in one executable just doesn't seem worth it. Writing components in different languages and have them communicating over some sort of shared bus, web services, whatever is simple and fairly effective.
