beg your pardon Solar but I didn' t understand this part
Been employed by four companies so far, from a dozen developers up to Big Player (tm), and technology decisions like that haven't been made on the team level anywhere I've been.
The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.
The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places
no one has ever been before.

I was employed as a software engineer by four different companies so far (including one internship). Those companies ranged in size from a handful of people to a DAX company.

And none of these companies allowed the decision which programming language to use in a new project to be made on the team level.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

I know that was aimed at Solar but I thought I would reply too, just to see how our answers differ (note that I haven't been employed by as many companies as Solar!)

C++ <-- main product
Perl <-- 99% of the intranet, automated testing systems, "change request" systems (which integrate with the VCS) etc etc.
Ruby <--- a tiny tiny amount.
