You can add a datapoint to that based on what I have experienced as well at an employer. Exactly what you mentioned, so much time wasted either due to reinventing the wheel, or because of language friction and it being way underpowered to model the problem at hand. I keep laughing that Java would have been a way superior fit in practically all fronts.
