I suspect that most of these large players have very heterogeneous environments, and will use a combination of 5-10 different languages depending on the task.

I suspect that most of these large players have very heterogeneous environments, and will use a combination of 5-10 different languages depending on the task. E.g., SQL db for production, but NoSQL for log analysis.
