There is no business perspective to programming languages. Stop kidding yourself to explain your favorite tool of the week as good for business.
Successful companies have used plain st* languages like PHP and Java, thousands of companies that use the tool of the week go bust. There is no correlation (perhaps you should not use Assembler or COBOL for web development)
If there is any then companies that use the tool of the week do too many rewrites instead of focusing on delivering business value, the correlation is negative if any.
