I must admit, that I can hardly imagine that to be
practical.

You'd force the developers to live in two worlds. That would
hardly
attract fresh blood und frustrate the existing guys. Rather
than
harvesting the (whatever) advantages of another language,
you'd buy
the disadvantages and problems of a second. Instead of
concentrating
on functional tasks, you'd be busy to implement a framework
for
merging two worlds.
