I am always surprised with the level of argumentation in reference to programming languages. From my perspective, good development paterns and arquitecture are WAY more important than the language. It's similar to writing poetry or novels: picking one language over another won't make you a great writer automatically. Can you imagine Cervantes and Shakespeare arguing whether Spanish or English was better? What's most important is what you do with the words of the language, and not the language itself.

That really isn't a good analogy. Different programming languages are more like different types of prose or poetry: novels, novellas, plays, epic poems and so on. They have a practical impact on how you get your point across. I imagine authors do have very strong opinions on whether it is better to write a poem or a short story or a novel.
