Gone are the days of a single language ... eg I use on a regular basis these days Delphi, HTML, JScript, SQL (MS SQL7 and Interbase stored procs) etc etc.
Plus a few others ... and it's not by choice either. And I could name another half dozen I have used at various times.

I've done mixed java+python and delphi+python but being that I know both its ok, but in order to hire someone to start maintaining this sort of stuff you need someone who knows java+python+delphi+xxxxx - or hire n developers. I wonder just how many people will actually do the mixed language thing.
