And modern IDEs support 2 languages at the same time. Heck, they support dozens if not hundreds of languages at the same time.

Eclipse has Javascript and Python plugins, for example so you can code in Java, Javascript, Python at the same time.

VS Code has a ton of language plugins you can use all at the same time.

IntelliJ has a ton of language plugins you can also use all at the same time.

No, they don't. Show me the IDEs with Common Lisp, Coq, Ocaml, Haskell, Elm, ... support. That's actually the reason Code is a real alternative to Emacs and Intellij isn't.
