I think it's great that a lot of these minor languages get some play in companies. If they're good enough to overcome the problems you mention, it improves things for everyone. If they're not, then the company dies and so does an evangelist for that language. It's a little like programming language Darwinism; a few companies need to die in the process, but ultimately it's better for programmers worldwide.
