I assert that a less fun language does increase your propensity to face up to unpleasant tasks. If your programming language makes facing up to unpleasant tasks a part of your daily routine, you won't "break the chain" by spending a day or a week where programming is all fun and games. I'm not saying that self-control (a.k.a. passion for doing the right thing) is not an issue if you use a less-fun language, I'm just saying that it becomes less of an issue.
