Picture this: Your frontend JavaScript calls an API endpoint, which routes to a Python service, which inherits from a base class in another Python module, which imports utilities from a shared library. Traditional code analysis tools see this as four separate, unrelated pieces of code. But what if a single tool could trace the entire dependency chain across language boundaries?

This isn't science fiction—it's cross-language symbol resolution, and it's one of the most technically challenging problems in modern code analysis. Here's how we solved it in CodePrism, and why it matters for the future of polyglot development.
