The NSA Is Funding a Project to Roll All Programming Languages Into One [Gizmodo]

Or perhaps JavaScript with seamless support for SQL and XQuery would do the trick...

"The "polyglot" programming language is called Wyvern—the name comes from a a [sic] mythical dragon-like reature with two legs instead of four—and is designed to help unify the way apps and websites are created. The researchers explain:

"Web applications today are written as a poorly-coordinated mishmash of artifacts written in different languages, file formats, and technologies. For example, a web application may consist of JavaScript code on the client, HTML for structure, CSS for presentation, XML for AJAX-style communication, and a mixture of Java, plain text configuration files, and database software on the server. This diversity increases the cost of developers learning these technologies. It also means that ensuring system-wide safety and security properties in this setting is difficult.""
