From my first reply, I've been arguing that using feels to decide things is very much dangerous. There are usually a less ambiguous way to frame the reasons behind a decision. Methodologies like the five why's can help.

And choosing a programming language is orthogonal to designing a solution to a problem. Everything get turned to opcodes and binary at some point.
