I agree with what @Gisho and @Brian say. Sometimes (actually most of the times) it is immaterial what language you use. Your skill / experience with it / them and the tools available make a larger difference. The problem set approached may also be an important factor.
What I found interesting is the kind of reaction the article sparked among the PERL zealots [ http://reliscore.com/blog/why-every-programmer-should-learn-python-or-ruby/ ]. It would have been amusing to see something similar on this list. :P
