Language-agnostic

Language-agnostic, language-neutral, language-independent, or cross-language may refer to:

Language agnostic

"Language agnostic" describes a software development paradigm where a particular language is chosen because of its appropriateness for a particular task (taking into consideration all factors, including ecosystem, developer skill-sets, performance, etc), and not purely because of the skill-set available within a development team.

For example, a Java development team might choose to use Ruby or Perl for some development work, when Ruby or Perl would be more appropriate than Java.
