As a technical leader, I view this in terms of costs. If most of my teams know how to write, build, and deploy in X, I prefer that language over Y. If X is tedious to write, debug, or someone has to become a ninja in building and deploying, perhaps X is less attractive. And of course, we also must consider if the language is a good candidate for specific problem being solved. We wrote mobile logic in C++, primarily so we could easily port it between iOS and a different Linux device.
