>Not to nitpick but choosing a programming language isn't a minor decision

In the grand scheme of things, talking solely about software projects not life in general, it kind of is.

Most modern languages, are interchangeable, and projects of most kinds have been done with all of them succesfully.

As long as the programmers for the chosen language are available, and the libs you want are there, for startups doing some web backend for example, it doesn't really matter if it's Python, Ruby, JS/Node, PHP, C#, Go, Java, CL, Kotlin, Clojure, and so on.

I disagree. There will be lots of considerations like ecosystems, long term support, ease to find developers, prior experience, etc…

Probably missed the "As long as the programmers for the chosen language are available, and the libs you want are there" part.

Working with Clojure is a world apart compared with any of the others listed.

In the end of the day, not that different.

Besides, I included CL there.
