The team/organisations knowledge is a huge factor but its easy to fall into a trap where no matter what the problem is the solution is X language.

If I have an organisation that knows C# and we need to build a Web Application. I would suggest we need to learn Node.js and Typescript and not invest in a solution that turns C# into web pages.

Wait, are you seriously overlooking ASP.NET and suggesting c# tes learn typescript and node to build web apps?

I get that it's a hypothetical, but typescript and node shouldn't be the first stop on the we need to build a web page train for folks already in the c# wagon.
