Selecting a language that lets you develop quickly over a "fast language" is orthogonal to selecting algorithms.

Is there a reason you believe them to be related? Or, did you repost one line of my comment without any context and expect to make a salient point?

I'm not sure I understand how choice of programming language affects choice of algorithm.
