The choice of programming language to use in the development of an E N T E R P R I S E A P P L I C A T I O N is always, is never, or could sometimes be an architectural decision? Explain.

Do your own homework.

Never. Your personal preference of a language should always come before any requirement of the project itself. In fact, if even one specification of the project would lie outside the natural bounds of the language (and relevant frameworks of course), it's probably an early sign that project is doomed to failure.
Example, you need a distributed database backed commercial XML API, but my pirated copy of Dreamweaver doesn't support that, guess what?? BAD PROJECT.

It's not homework. It was a question from an exam I was (unfortunately) studying.
