Does it make sense to write application's "business-logic" (back-end) in higher-level and type-safe language like Ada and then write front-end in e.g. PyQt and call Ada code in the form of Python's extension module?

Is it "best of both worlds" - having logic written in type-safe language and GUI in productive environment like e.g. PyQt or it is actually "the worst of the two" by losing type-safety since extension module should use C convention and possibly one will also lose advantage of using Python?
