You can start giving tech talks in your own company. In my company we have Tech Talk & Pizza the first Tuesday of every month, and works really well. The people interested in give a talk have to add the topic in a poll, and the most voted topic is selected for the next month. It's a good idea to have some fun with your colleagues, spread knowledge, and eat free pizza!

We included Lua in our videogame, and that help us to reduced drastically the prototyping time (screen design, FXs, transitions). Isn't exactly a switching because we still use C/C++. However porting the main logic to Lua allowed us to use the Live Coding feature (we were using ZeroBrane), so you can get rid compilation times, executions and manuals steps to reproduce whatever you are working on. We couldn't be happier with this decision. Totally worth it!
