Probably not every program, but every major language family that doesn't share low level compatibility of its data structures, like how today having a C API is a lowest common denominator for a languages compatibility with other languages. Or how JSON has become a medium of exchange for network software.

With the popularity of application sandboxing, with Flatpak on the desktop and Docker on the server, there are far more defined and regimented ways for applications to share data, so I don't expect arbitrary disparate programs accessing data to be supported in this model.
