    Abstract

    Polyglot programming is gaining popularity as developers integrate
    multiple programming languages to harness their individual strengths. With
    the recent popularity of platforms like GraalVM and other multi-language runtimes, creating and managing these systems has become much more
    feasible. However, current research on analyzing multilingual programs
    mainly focuses on two languages, leaving out the increasing complexity of systems that use three or more. For example, modern web systems often link JavaScript, WebAssembly, and Rust within the same execution chain. This
    paper envisions the landscape of software systems with three-language
    polyglot communication. We identify fundamental challenges in analyzing
    them and propose a conceptual roadmap to advance static analysis
    techniques to address them. Our vision aims to stimulate discussion and
    inspire new research directions toward scalable, language-agnostic
    analysis frameworks for next-generation polyglot systems.
