having read a ton of papers coming from that field during my phd, I have yet to see anything actually convincing out of it and not something that could be due to different cultural norms or other factors. Also assuming that it applies to the general practice of programming (whatever that means, I really don't think there's a single one) is... bold imho. Otoh most useful large software is written in C++ - adobe software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, most big music making software (Ableton, Cubase, etc), most big video software (DaVinci Resolve, etc) and they definitely don't seem to be lacking in the "creativity" department. If your hypothesis was true, wouldn't we be seeing a lot of much more advanced software written in different languages ? Yet there are barely any - in audio there's Fruity Loops written in Delphi but other than that...
