I think size of company matters too.  We're a really small group where I
work, and getting things done correctly is actually valued a bit more than
the means by which it gets done.

It's that mentality that let me throw off the shackles of Java for Erlang
and Haskell for a lot of the code I'm responsible for.  I might even try to
push my luck soon and get permission to rewrite a small but really important
chunk of code in Go if i can prove to myself, and then to others, that it's
a good idea :-)
