Can a software be written in multiple languages?
For native code development, you can (often) link code from several compiled language programs to create executables, libraries and dynamic link libraries or shared objects. For managed code development, the byte-code based Java and . NET virtual machines both support multiple programming languages.

Is it bad to learn multiple programming languages at once?
In fact, you never truely master a language, so really, any time you work with more than one language, you’re probably learning both of them. You may want to concentrate on one language to get through the basics just to keep yourself from getting the two languages confused.
How do multiple languages interact in one project?
In the simple case, different languages are compiled to the same code. For example, C and C++ code typically is compiled into machine assembler or C# and VB.Net is compiled into IL (the language understood by the . NET runtime). It gets more difficult if the languages/compilers use a differnt type system.
Which is the best language to write an API in?
You can write the API as a library that can be used from multiple languages. C is a good choice for this because most languages can link C libraries, but the languages you expect to use it from can have a large impact, too.
What’s the difference between REST API and client library?
A REST API for database access, plus a business layer library written in multiple languages. The idea being that you have business logic on the application end, but it’s simple enough that you can write a “client library” in multiple languages that knows how to call out to the REST API and then apply business logic to the results it gets back.
Which is the best language to use in a JVM?
C is a good choice for this because most languages can link C libraries, but the languages you expect to use it from can have a large impact, too. For example, if you know it’s always going to be used by a language hosted on the JVM, the any JVM language it probably a reasonably good choice. Another choice is to use a hybrid of the two.
