- Use a couple of languages people know and like

Maintenance nightmare.... E.g. I don't have problem to maintain projects in 
different languages ( now RoR, perl and YCP), but if I am maintaner and someone 
leave or move to another team and need to start maintaining new module which is 
in new language I spend some time to learn it and it is not good idea to have 
weak knowleadge of many languages. I think we should choose one language ( it 
is not important if it is python, ruby, perl whatever), but we should stay with 
it as then it is easy to learn just how module work and not need to know how 
language work.

I agree, I meant more the ability to reuse stuff in other languages, or to allow someone to use your infrastructure from another languages without much pain.
