This looks very interesting, but the lack of comments here makes me wonder if it's being oversold a bit in the article? It sound like the Borg of languages, resistance is futile and future languages will be assimilated - at least languages that can bear the memory overhead of the system?

Its also very weird that they named their project Polyglot when there is already an extensible compiler framework named Polyglot ( https://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/polyglot/ https://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/polyglot/ ) that has already been used to make dozens of languages used in published research.
