With all of these exciting languages that target the JVM, I think it makes a lot of sense to have a company's "One True Language" simply be the JVM itself.
That allows a programmer to use Scala, Clojure, JRuby, or Jython to initially write software quickly. Anything that becomes a core library can be rewritten in Java for efficiency and so that bindings can be added for all of the high-level languages. Then projects themselves can be written in whatever language best suits the individual employees.
Does anyone use this approach?
