I am very much interested in hearing about this as well.  It seems to me
that the problem with many rapid prototyping environments today is that
you have to throw away the prototype and re-code from scratch in C or
something similar.  Has any academic work been done on object-oriented 
environments that let different languages be attached to objects and
share data between them? (i.e., the idea is that you could evolve the language
being attached to the object from something that is easy to program to
something that is suitable for production use)
