"Add a programming language for extensibility and write part of the program in that language" wow, that's just asking for trouble...

Remember that "yes" is the bottom end of complexity here, not the top. As the utility grows larger that stops looking like "asking for trouble" and starts looking like "often the only sensible solution". Expecting people to extend programs in C is often "asking for trouble", after all!

Never go full Cato.

Does writing it in a different language suffice?

[xapata]

Depends how different.
