The existence of such links may lead to various problems during software development. There is little empirical evidence on the incidence of these problems and the experiences of professional developers in this field.</;<h3 class="Heading"><strong>Aim</strong></h3><p class="Para">We want to provide empirical evidence on multi-language software development, cross-language linking, and tool support in industry, including the views of professional developers on benefits and problems in these areas.</;<h3 class="Heading"><strong>Methods</strong></h3><p class="Para">We conducted a survey study to gather responses from 139 professional software developers.</;</div></div></section><section class="KeywordGroup Section1 RenderAsSection1 c-section" lang="en"><h2 class="Heading js-ToggleCollapseSection c-section__heading" data-sticky-update="true">&nbsp;</h2></section> ER -
