Multi-language IDE (Compiler)

//Doubt this is a million dollar idea, but i love to have one ^_^

The idea is simple, as you are coding, you can switch between languages as you please. All languages able to access variables and methods in any other language you have already used. All you have to do is identify what language the sections of code are.

EG: <C#>

  public list<int> DataSet = new list<int>();

  public string GetSortedData(list<int> unsorted_data)

  {

    //sorts the data

    //Converts data to string (as delphi dosent have list<int> class... i think.)

  } 
</C#>

<Delphi> //sory its the only other language i know atm

  ShowMessage('Sorted DataSet: ' + <C#>GetSortedData(DataSet)</C#>);
</Delphi>

It might be tricky to do, but damn would i want an IDE that can do that!
