In terms of selecting a programming language, language doesn't matter.
Roman Jakobson, renowned linguist summed up the differences of languages with this pithy maxim that can be extrapolated to programming languages:
"Languages differ essentially in what they must convey and not in what they may convey"
In terms of a programming language, the what and how they convey an abstract idea is how they differ. It is difference of vocabulary and how easily and nuanced a concept can be conveyed.
