People figure out the language that best fits their personalities, and run
with it.

I don't care if it is C, Perl, Erlang, Haskell, brainfuck, PHP, Python,
shell script, Java, Ruby, C#, or C++. By now they overlap about
70% to 99% in functionality, if you count the supporting libraries.

Use what makes *you* feel productive. For me, that is currently C++, one of
the most flexible languages ever.
