I really like very much this essay, and clearly shows my point of view regarding programming language adoption.

While as language geek I consume everything to learn about what is out there, new approaches to programming, paradigms, mindsets, ways to solve problems, in the end work is driven by platforms.

Going in the direction of using languages not embraced by platforms, means one needs to be willing to do yak shaving adding platform support for the given language.
