Of course, that's a ridiculous reason to choose one language over
another. But to augment what you're saying, sometimes certain
languages are chosen because of the availability of libraries and
tools, and, more importantly, because of the availability of skilled
programmers. That's especially important if a client has to expand and
modify a solution in the future.
