In my experience the language used is largely irrelevant until the skill set of the people implementing the project are taken into account. With a good design you can match the requirements of the project to the skills of the people. The language and approach (OO, procedural, data driven, etc.) will usually be obvious at that point. Naturally, political issues will come into play, too. Just remember the old saw: you can write bad fortran in any language. It is up to the implementer to structure the software for maintainability, regardless of the language used.
