Due to 20 years experience as a senior engineer and an software architect , I could say that it’s very easy, You probably mean the ecosystem choice which one is more complicate and need very high programming level.
It might seem easy, and yet many companies I worked with (and know of) made terrible language choices;). The programming language is one of the foundational choices made very early in the project, and the one that cannot be undone. You are correct in saying that the language drags the entire ecosystem with it (or the lack of thereof).
