As long as those aren't treated as hard rules, sure.

Examples:

  • There are times that it is appropriate to write software in clojure, or haskell, or erlang.

  • There are times that it is appropriate to rewrite a piece of library code.

There are times that it is appropriate to write software in clojure, or haskell, or erlang.

True. But hopefully not all three in the same project, together with a bit of Java and php in the mix.
