This generally happens when languages (like Java and C# especially, but I
guess also C++) get so large abundances of frameworks and libraries to work
with, that investing time in other technologies either becomes
counterproductive or just not feasible (or even necessary). Even if the
Java solutions might not be perfect, you can get very far quickly by
utilizing what's already there.
