Good answer. Our discussion sort of touches on the ingrained biases organizations can have toward a particular language, whether for the good or bad. Ideally I would push towards learning new languages and approaches to problems, but organizations (mine included) push towards the principle of least astonishment and it can be difficult to break that barrier. There's good business sense in doing so. Or, to rephrase, if your organization is ingrained in doing things a particular way the tradeoff of attempting to adopt something newer and/or different had better be justified.
This is nothing particularly insightful on its own, of course, but this philosophy in terms of "what language do I write my code in" is worth a retread every now and then.
