 It's a nice platitude, but there's another side to the coin.  While
 language 'A' may be much better suited to solve some problem than
 language 'B', choosing 'A' may be a terrible choice.  The best language
 to choose is almost always the one where the coding team members are most
 proficient.
 Remember, the goal of those capitalists who bankroll the system is
 to earn the most $$$.  There's a big economic advantage to producing
 the system as fast as possible.  If using 'A' requires a big learning
 curve, then it's hard to justify 'A'.
