We did, remember Corba? I mean XML-RPC, er SOAP... wait no, REST+XML... REST+JSON, er, Swagger (I should really call it Open-API). Omg, what are gRPC, avro, thrift, and cap'n proto meant to do? I bet if we could all just agree to pick one of those then the interoperability problem will be solved. I know you were referring to C ABI etc, but as others have pointed out, having two GC languages communicating with each other over a C ABI is tough, which is why IPC/RPC exist. Oh, and once we settle this single ABI/Interoperability problem, let's come back to this one-true-language idea... I think there's something there ;)
