It really irks me how some treat the practicalities and existing choices of real world software development as an annoying impediment to getting to use a language they're interested in. Whether you're interested in a language and whether you should use it in production can be two separate things. If you've got a compelling reason to use a given language in production, you probably don't have to trick your co-workers into doing anything, you just have a conversation with them! And if you "trick" them into using it for something small, aren't you going to sabotage your long term relationship and trust with them for minimal gain?

Nothing in the article suggests that conversation didn't happen. The only mention of "tricked" is the headline the submitter gave it on HN.
