Wow. I cannot believe in good ‘ol 2026 there are still people who believe a whole successful programming language could be the reason for a failed experiment (s

  Except I never said it’s the whole reason for a failed startup. You’re just making shit up out of thin air. Choosing a wrong language can be a factor for failure. This is possible but rare. For example choosing Python for a triple A game engine. Mostly choosing the wrong language results in pain and friction and extra work. These things are enough for me to consider a choice wrong. You don’t need the language to bring down the entire startup for me to consider to to be wrong. For example if you chose nodejs. One application server instance is enough to serve the website and scale for a couple years. If you chose flask… well… setting that up for the same scale would be complicated. Your choice here is proportional to the amount of pain you feel later.
