Years of web development has led me to the conclusion that there's significant, but frequently overlooked, benefit in sticking to as few languages as possible (preferably one that's as general-purpose as possible) as opposed to spreading an app across a variety of languages. But then, of course, web development isn't so much a case of "choosing the best languages for the individual jobs" as it is "being forced into the worst languages for the individual jobs" ;)
