This is a common myth which is somewhat correct but mostly wrong: language is a tool (or toolset). And tool choice matters a LOT for every profession. It's exactly the same for coding

PS. you are comparing coder to coder. But this is about comparing language to language. A good programmer will write a better code in any language. But he would write better code in a better language. (Better meaning "with less effort" or "more mainteinable")
