Perhaps for end-user applications[1], but not for libraries/code
reuse/implementing platform interfaces to be usable by applications.  How
do I call an Eiffel library from Ada and pass it a callback written in Go?
And if widely-used libraries are not available, that again makes it less
viable to write applications using them.

[1] To take a random set of examples, how many of these languages have
libraries or bindings for (all of) TLS, good i18n, libselinux, readline,
D-Bus, GTK?
