This afternoon I presented on Polyglot Programming at cf.objective() 2010. Unlike most presentations I give, this one has almost no code, so the slidedeck (as a PDF) is the whole shebang. The in-deck content is admittedly light; really just an outline to follow along as I talked. The short version of the verbal part is:
Using multiple languages has a bit of a learning curve but it pays off, and more quickly than you think. Language selection and design is a vital aspect to being a successful developer, both for individual projects and as part of your continuing career.
I'll probably give the presentation again on CFMeetup at some point this year, and maybe at a user group or two, so if you missed it all is not lost. Unfortunately (or fortunately), cf.objective() is so content-rich that it's hard to get to every session you want, so if you missed it you can probably get a second chance.
