The other side of the coin for something like Clojure (lisps, really) allow tiny teams to manage large domains - so the team can't scale to a large number of programmers, but a 5-man army is viable because that is a small enough team to curate the individuals members for quality and they get a lot done.
But the author's rankings look extremely reasonable. All companies have management problems and some languages cope better with that than others. Another way of interpreting this is "What costs does the language impose on programmers doing something novel" - usually novel is a bad sign for long term success.
