First of all programing languages are not tools, they are more like tool builders. Programming languages are used to build real tools aka libraries like http server, db library, html templating etc which are then composed together to form an application.
So not only does the programming language choice dictate what kind of tools you have available but also what kind of tools are easy to make and how to compose these tools. Even taking open source tools into account, different libraries in different languages can behave quite differently so the programming language choice matters a lot. It affects how you think about the problem and what solutions you end up with
