> If you want languages to interface with each other it always comes down C as a lowest common denominator

Nope, "always" only applies to OS written in C and usually following POSIX interfaces as they OS ABI.

C isn't the lowest common denominator on Android (JNI is), on Web or ChromeOS (Assembly / JS are), on IBM and Unisys mainframes (language environments are), on Fuchsia (FIDL is), just as a couple of examples.
