What if you can't find an expert to teach the other developers?

  You are hiring too late.

    So if you end up joining one of these companies, run for the hills, no?

  Where did the rest of the code come from, or who made the decision to start that way? They should at least be able to spearhead it. Obviously it's different for tiny organizations, but generally, if someone inexpertly made architectural decisions without building the institutional knowledge to continue without them, the language they chose will just be one of many big problems.

    People who build things are not necessarily able to teach things. These are two different skill sets.

      And those people shouldn't be in executive roles, even in smaller organizations. Being able to mentor people is a basic management skill and is why blindly making engineers into dev managers based on seniority is idiotic. If you have someone incapable of mentoring people unilaterally making those decisions without a counterpart that can, that's not a problem with the stack-- that's a problem with management that will manifest itself in countless other ways.
