Of course there are scenarios where you can't choose your favorite language, I'm not going to write an Xbox game client in Python. To the extent I have a choice, I'll go out of my way to use Python and I'll be a little creative to fit it into certain uses cases where it's not a perfect fit, consciously accepting a reasonable penalty. But yeah, sometimes it won't fit at all. The point is more that I'd go so far as to avoid taking a job or gravitating towards a project where the development would not be enjoyable based on the tools I'd have to use.

"The point is more that I'd go so far as to avoid taking a job or gravitating towards a project where the development would not be enjoyable based on the tools I'd have to use." I can definitely understand this point of view. Well sorta. I was/am always goal oriented. I find satisfaction in creating a product used by other people. The actual process of implementation is 90% boring work and language for me is just a tool. I do not get too excited by languages.
