So, ok I can write in many languages. Can I connect them in between?

Yes. There's a "Frankenstein" example, that parses an RSS feed with Python, and then renders it through the UI written in JS. Check examples/frankenstein-news/frank.lba to see bombolla commands. (Warning, Frankenstein example is still very rough, it doesn't parse the summary)
