We have strayed from our punched-card heritage, which gives us all the
solutions we need. Mixing languages is trivial if we simply go back to
our roots, and use columns 78-80 of each card to specify which language
to compile code in.
//EXEC DD * JCL
if i < 10 then PAS
{ C
while (--i < (int) *++a[--j+xyz->++q]) C
PERFORM ADD_ONE_TO_INPUT_RECORD COB
SAY @40 "ENTER TWO NUMBERS" DB3
DO 10 J = I, 2, 100 FOR
exception when INPUT_ERROR => ADA
perror ("input"); C
end ADA
10 CONTINUE FOR
} C

jtidwell (Jenifer P Tidwell):
Listen, my children, and you shall hear
A modern-day story of Paul Revere.
He runs through the Media Lab, not through the town,
Shouting, "BACKUP YOUR FILES, LEST THE SYSTEM GO DOWN!"
Following behind, completely ignored
A grammarian's cry earnestly implored:
"No more assaults on our literacy;
BACK UP is two words, it seems clear to me!"
He halts in the hallway these words to consider
While above him the cable trays shake, creak, and skitter
He cleans up his syntax, but before he can shout
The "correct" words, it's too late: the power's gone out!

Dreaming when dawn's left hand was in the sky
I heard a voice within the tavern cry
"Awake my little ones, and fill the cup
Before life's liquor in its cup be dry."
