I'm surprised you wouldn't consider the license a language is released under as one of the factors. Or maybe you do, and you forgot to list it.

I love erlang, but I'd be hard pressed to use erlang for as many projects as I would like. Not because of failings of the language itself, but because certain qualities it does not possess (ubiquity for one, which affects so many other areas).
