A fast horse is not slower than a fast car.
Languages and ecosystems shape how people think. For example, you will find that Java and Python programmers have very different values and principles. Given same options, they will make extremely different choices. Clearly this is going to have at least some effect on time to market.
I found Java to be a land of overengineering, verbosity, and anti-patterns. The infamous "Hammer Factories" [1] post screams Java to me.
