There are many, often contradicting points to consider. Community,
available books and examples, quality of compilers or interpreters,
libraries and bindings, existing projects, speed, stability, security,
job market...
And of course the quality of the language itself, and fun using it.

Some projects can be really hard when using the wrong language. For
example my toporouter, I think when I wrote it from the beginning in
plain C, I would got never a working prototype in the available time
frame of less than 1000 hours. Even Anthony was not really lucky with
plain C for his router, and he was really smart.
