I don't see why you need separate *programs* to achieve this. My
experience is with a shared library (Unix) setup:

basic.so <----+--------------------- Ada program
              |
              +---- tclbinding.so -- Tcl program

but thinking back the underlying architecture was a shared-memory
scheme and basic.so provided the interface to that. Clearly
_something_ has to be shared!
