This is only a problem for Emacs if people insist on being pure and having those parser and lexers written only in elisp.

Currently I'm quite happily using https://github.com/nsf/gocode for example within Emacs.

Most language support in the other major editors is going this route as well.

That being said, its likely that the FFI that Guile brings to Emacs would be of tremendous value in adding adding bits of polyglot language support.
