I would structure the book by task, showing how different languages would
implement the same task.
For example,
using a marc parsing library in java, groovy, python, ruby, perl,
c/c++/objective c, Haskell.
Implementing same.
Using a rest API
Implementing a rest API
Doing statistical analysis of catalog records, circulation data , etc.
Doing knowledge based analysis of same

Treatment of each topic and language is likely to be cursory at best, and I
am not sure who the audience would be.
A series of "<language> for librarians" books would seem more useful and
easier to produce.
