Normally one is the project leader. He decides.

I have other problems with it. I have problems with all languages
currently available, so I use those which rub me wrong the least.
I think the indentation syntax of python was a mistake, but for
the most part it is a minor issue and it doesn't weight heavy enough
to go and use an other language, although I keeping looking at 
the other languages.
