The thing is, most projects can be solved by most languages and frameworks. Apart from some special cases, there isn't usually that high of an impedance mismatch. This means that you have to look to other factors to decide... things like: * Tooling support * Talent pool / ability to hire * Available resources * Support / stability FWIW, the last time I had to make this decision, I went with Python--a language I had never used before. No regrets.
