Thanks; now lets try saying it like this:

 - pick a core language for your app. For example, if you team
     has not yet bought the TCO for stored procedures, don't
     be the one to start

 - write in the core language by default, without a defensible
     reason to use one of the peripheral languages

 - if the core language comes with generators for code in
     the peripheral language, use them to learn that language,
     and possibly to apply tweaks

That rationale applies equally to Rails and JavaScript as to C and
Assembler. Including disassembling your compiled code to learn what
the compiler did...
