Assuming you need to use libraries for stuff, you choose the language that has the better ecosystem, more users and more StackOverflow support. As a company you choose the language that makes it easier to hire devs in, and move them around from a project to another. Only when execution performance trumps all other concerns you select the faster/stricter language, and only for mature projects not for a POC which might be thrown away soon.
So you use the strict/performant languages for mature, execution intensive code that doesn't need much library support and where you don't need to hire many devs.
