I guess it depends what the tech stack was before?
Where I work, we were previously a ColdFusion shop when I joined, and after a false start with Scala, I introduced Clojure and it stuck: we cross-trained the CF devs and slowly rewrote the platform from the bottom up in Clojure.
We had struggled with automated deployments, and the size of servers, when we were a CF shop but after the switch to Clojure we had a fully-automated deployment pipeline, with rolling cluster updates, and much smaller servers than we needed before, running more processes than before.
