On Polyglot Programming in the Web
Juhana Harmanen, Tommi Mikkonen · Advances in systems analysis, software engineering, and high performance computing book series · 2016
Different programming languages have been designed to solve problems efficiently in different domains. The goal of polyglot programming, a technique where several languages are used in the creation of a single application, is to combine and utilize the best solutions from different programming languages and paradigms in a seamless fashion. In this paper, the authors examine polyglot programming in the context of web applications, where it has been commonly used to create compelling applications, but where there is still considerable potential to improve development in various ways.
