I feel like the language choice isn't going to be what bites people here, the danger is more architecting to a specific platform, relying on its SDKs and optimizing to a provider's specific resource idiosyncrasies.

That is true, but somebody did mention a "cloud friendly language". Most of the languages in common use were designed pre-cloud. This new thing, whatever it is, could thus have cloud dependencies that current languages don't.
