Public Sticky notes
In many cases the best solution is a hybrid one. There is a reason that Google allows more than one language (C++, Java, Python and JavaScript). This is because the languages are good at different things. They have different characteristics, and you can get a synergistic effect by combining them. A polyglot system can be greater than the sum of it's parts.

Compare languages, understand your most important tools. Have several different tools for different tasks, and understand the failings of your current tools.

Be good polyglot programmers. The world will not have a new big language again, and you need to rewire your head to work in this environment.
