Most of the bickering about this or that programming language is no different than "should I buy the bosch or craftsman table saw".
Use whatever has the lowest TCO to you that lets you get the job done.
Perl is usually that tool for me, but yanno TIMTOWTDI. Basically every programming language is quite expressive and has adequate tooling to profile, test, cover, format and lint & run thru CI these days.
I have noticed pretty much everyone using X language still thinks the others don't have said features though. Good for a chuckle in dev chats.
