It's very hard to determine if they succeeded because of or despite of in any quantified way. WhatsApp, Viaweb, Jane Street, NoRedInk are examples of where they succeeded with a smaller language and none of them afaik blamed the language but praised it.
However, I think if you are a company doing something boring and that can only pay average, then having an interesting tech stack (including a nice language), hiring globally and having good benefits might give you a venue to compete for talent. You'll need some kind of strategy.
