I agree that choice of language is important, but you cannot just consider the language in isolation. I have spent almost four decades becoming better at writing C and I write much better programs in C than I do in any other language because of it, and if you asked me to write something very important today, I would trust the result more, if I wrote it in C, even if that were, on some objective scale, not the best language for the task. With that said, a lot of my recent projects, I have chosen python3, which I am now, after some years of "toy-projects", starting to feel quite comfortable with.
