Which programming languages work well together and when?
Every programming language has advantages and disadvantages which make it more suitable to a specific solution. Sometimes it makes sense to combine the advantages of two (sometimes more) languages to solve the "bigger picture" problem in the most efficient manner (execution time vs programming time, etc.).

Some programming languages play better together than others because they are closely related in design, and some also provide better interfaces to other programming languages, which are not directly related.
 
It's obviously *possible* to use any two languages together in some way or another, but I know there are instances where it definitely makes more sense to do so. 

I know it's impossible to list all the different combinations, but I'm only interested in the interaction capability between the most popular programming languages, e.g. the top 10 on the [TIOBE index][1].
