It's easier to argue about programming languages than it is to argue about things that actually matter[0]. You start to realize that programming languages matter very little the more experience you get programming. Some languages are better suited for one task over another, but there is no objective "best" language. This isn't to say that the choice of language doesn't matter -- it does. If your team knows C then you probably shouldn't try to start a new project in Java without some ramp-up/learning time. If you're working in JavaScript then you better set aside a lot of time before writing production code in Haskell. These are issues that are more related to people than they are to programming. The best language is the one that you/your team knows. The second best is the one that suits the task.
