Once you start managing a project by Extreme Practices, since the scope is not closed, only the resources, most of discussions about "project failure" change tint.
Cherry picking is not helpful to support any claim. Itself being considered a kind of fallacy, it taints your discourse.

There are two factors to consider here
[1] Languages which do things well that others cannot
[2] Best Management Practices
As for [2], I shared my experience with Extreme Programming
in http://xpdx.org/files/ExtremeSuccess
XP is not for every project, just every one I would want to work on.
I also noted that if you can't afford to fail, you need to use a Dynamic
Language such as Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk. See [1].
If you can affor d to fail, you can write it in any language.
I prefer to "cherry pick" things that work.
