You can often solve ~70% of this with language interop. Bindings and FFIs are in my opinion very under-appreciated. This is the approach taken by PHP+HipHop, Apple with Swift/ObjC, and many Python bindings over C++ internals (TF etc).
There is no magic bullet. You can't do an overnight transition. If you decide to make a language shift (or equivalently large architecture shift), you need an interop. Old and new have to coexist. The remaining 30% (where interop fails) is where engineering happens and is often where you had hidden technical debt anyway.
