The author is partially right. Programming language selection is rarely the factor that will make or break the success of your project. This assumes you're making a reasonable choice of course - no writing databases in Python or web apps in C.
But I don't understand why the author is so upset about people talking about programming languages. If we stop discussing the pros and cons of the tools that we use, we will continue to use today in perpetuity. We suck the oxygen out of the new tool space because anyone who tries to create something will be told "No one gives a shit".
An aside, we're all adults here OP. If you're going to swear, go ahead and say "shit". No need for this coy asterisk.
