Wouldn't that require programmers to use 50 languages in a project though? Assuming that this is the future of programming, the number of languages that a programmer would have to learn to create a simple project would be ridiculous.

Why use many languages when you can do the same process in one? Sure, even if the "big" language isn't specifically made for a certain job, doing that job in a little language requires time for the programmer to learn the little language.

The syntax may be different, so to convert from the big languages to little languages it would take time. This is why this hasn't happened yet; people are lazy to learn new languages so they just learn the "big" languages that can complete all the tasks that they require.
