Thats probably the best way to look at it, otherwise it gets very difficult very fast.

If markup languages are locked out, then rust has other problems, because you then can't change your cargo.toml file anymore.

And then there is the build script problem :/

As a thought excercise this has been interesting, there certainly are a lot of inter-dependencies between languages the deeper you look.

Yeah, I found it quite interesting, too. To some degree, I've been wondering why it's so natural for programmers to be programming language polyglots, even if they're not actively nerds/excited about them.
And yeah, this discussion made me realize that you basically can't take a single step in programming without being confronted with multiple languages/syntaxes at once.
