Isn't that the case with Ada9x, at least for some of the languages you're
mentioning? (The problem with the very high level languages, as Smalltalk
or Lisp, is that they may be too different from the others you mention to
make a powerful and portable interface between those languages in various
implementations possible - just look how different their foreign function
interfaces are, if they have one at all.)
