I'm not sure that's true. Though it obviously depends more on the programmer themself, the semantics of a language can make it easier, at least, to write higher quality code. For example, bounds checking removes a whole class of bugs (probably the most common in C) from the equation. I disagree that this effect could be described as "marginal".
