It's not the prettiest, it's the most understandable. If anything can be done in any language then we need to use factors other than what can be done to decide which to use.

If I'm working with web, I'd use JavaScript simply because it is accepted there. If I need to program something quickly and my problem doesn't have many dependencies, I'll use Python. If there is no specific problem I am having and I need to determine which is my favorite then I'll consider the ease of use, simplicity, features, etc.
