No, not really. You can solve most problems with any number of mainstream languages with a few caveats. 1) The language has to run and be supported on the platform of choice (You probably can&#x27;t use perl to write mobile apps nor are you likely to use ruby to build windows apps.). 2) If you have known speed, scale or other special requirements ie (you&#x27;re probably not going to want to run a jvm language on embedded systems, and if you&#x27;re running a system that&#x27;s going to get billions of requests a second, you&#x27;re probably going to want something that&#x27;s multi-threaded or supports some type of concurrency)
