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.

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.

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.
