This is a bad analogy. Programming languages all get compiled to the same machine codes. The human-readable version of that code doesn't actually matter very much, if at all, after compilation. Programming languages are tools for humans: they're either expressive enough or they're not.
A better analogy would be rocket engineers saying the CAD tool you choose to design your rocket in doesn't matter—and that has some merit.
