There are concerns that go into this 1. Your time 2. Machine time 3. Others time Balance those three. Your time is saved by finding a language they already had good tooling and libraries for your task. Machine time is saved by picking the fastest language for this task. Sometimes you want a jit sometimes you need native code because you're running embedded. Others time is spent maintaining the stuff you build so using a language others already know saves them time. Balance those three to find what works. Need really fast code? Sacrifice your time and co-workers time. Need really maintainable code? Sacrifice your time and machine time. Need really quickly written code? Sacrifice machine time and co-workers time.
