Question, developers.

Short Version: Do you mix languages of code when making asynchronous calls on your cloud computing platform?

Long Version with Context: I am preparing to write a couple of applications that will be only interacted with asynchronously for a series of websites. I am thinking of making the asynchronous calls to a Python built application through XHR built on top of [but obviously separately from] the code of an ASP-based CMS. Since we're using a cloud computing server, we can actually serve up Python, ASP, and PHP rendered code with roughly equivalent speed, and two of the applications would benefit greatly from some of my previously written .py scripts that I created for a piece of events management software, so I figured that I would go ahead and test the implementation on a low level first but can't do that until early next week so I was wondering what the community thought about it? If you *could* run two different server-side scripting languages simultaneously without having noticeable change in performance, would you? Why or why not?

Do note that I am considerably better writing PHP and Python than ASP, so having to do these apps in ASP would be more time-consuming and likely not as tight.
