I'm really surprised by comments.

Does anyone really believes that success of the company depends on the programming language they use?

Most of the time it is completely irrelevant.

Well, it can theoretically affect flexibility, which can help as you search for a viable business model, but I agree it's very much a secondary or even tertiary factor. The fact that they've shut down a project is much more likely to have been due to lack of viability rather than any coding issues.
