The "language" used is rarely an issue. Unless there's some restriction that 
VS extensions have to be in C# (or another managed language) or that Emacs 
extensions have to be in Lisp, etc.

The work of programming/software development is being able to understand the 
problem and to then figuring out a way to solve the problem. Once the 
solution is figured out and known - the actual language used to implement 
the solution isn't that big of a deal in most cases.
