I agree with the other comments that are basically saying to be conservative about adding to your toolbox. Additionally, I recommend using technologies with existing heavy investment from the industry. For example, anything on the top of this list is a safe choice of language in general: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#most-popular-technolog... . This reduces risks from having to assume maintenance burden, hiring difficulties, finding support, integration with other technology, and more. Adopting some tool that is later abandoned is a frequent source of pain for small companies. Of course, there may be good reasons to stray from this guideline in some cases.
