Yes but for already written code I usually stick to the language already used.

Most languages use the concept of functions, procedures or similar their parameters could be passed and at least one values is returned their however exceptions like sed the stream editor I think anyway. Usually it is also possible to link or copy data. If the language is not object oriented it is usually possible to use structures instead of objects although it is not as a good as an object oriented language.
