These are starting to get developed, for example Microsoft's Q#
GraalVM is another polyglot initiative but since it's both Java and Oracle under the hood I keep at a polite distance.
Awsome WebAssembly Languages lists 17 mature projects (.Net, AssemblyScript, Brainfuck, C, C#, C++, Clean, COBOL, Forth, Go, Lobster, Lua, Never, Rust, TypeScript, WebAssembly, Zig); and since they compile to WASM you get the chance to use a single runtime (NodeJS, your browser, whatever) to run code written in different languages and, importantly, have them communicate without having to resort to sockets or the file system.
You can write a library for profunctor optics, something that is usually used in functional languages like Haskell, in Java, but that doesn't mean it's convenient or even practical to use.
