I agree, and think that the culture around a programming language is one of the most important attributes, so we should not be afraid to talk about human factors like cultural fit. Your choice of programming language is usually limited to a short list of the ones that have the tools and libraries to support what you are doing, but IMO it's perfectly reasonable to choose a particular language because you and your team like the culture. If you decide to use a programming language in production, you might have to live with it for a long time.
