Absolutely. When I'm evaluating a product, the language it's written in gives me some insight into what areas I need to investigate further, what questions to ask the vendor, etc. So, if something's written with, say PERL, I'm going to be concerned about maintenance and reliability. If it's written in Python, I'm going to drill into the runtime performance and reliability more. If it's in C++, I might be looking at their development velocity. Everything's a tradeoff, and so long as those tradeoffs are addressed then it's fine. The language just gives me a better idea about where to delve more attentively.
