If there's a use case for mixed-language programming, then there's a use case for calling a function written in one language from a function written in another. It's hard to dream up good use cases for mixed-language programming, because it's something you generally want to avoid when you can. It tends to happen when you are integrating code that already exists, and that uses multiple languages for historic reasons.
