There is an interesting Nix based project that has some actual good use
cases for a common intermediate representation:
https://publish.illinois.edu/allvm-project/

Chris Webber's talk on Spritely also had some good ideas for using OCAP
in Guix to enhance security by a whole lot.
https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/spritelygoblins/
And that is basically just cross-language remote procedure calls.

Another interesting possibility is to run everything on WASM without an
MMU. See the classic The Birth and Death of Javascript talk.

Of course that one is pre-Spectre/Meltdown, so take it with a grain of
salt.
