While such statements are mostly true for new code, wild language mixes
are a nightmare for maintenance. If you plan to live forever and also
can make sure you maintain your own code for the next 30 years, feel
free to use any language you desire.

If you're a more typical human you'll abandon your code not long after
it works. If you feel like fixing upcoming bugs at all.

And from there on things go south. Because maintainers are a rare
species anyways and ones willing to learn a new language for every other
file of code even more.

When reviewing code I not only care about the language, I also care
about conventions like variable naming, commenting strategy, indentation
and other seemingly pointless stuff.
