It's true, whether it is simple to do something in a language is, a lot times, determined by the libraries that are readily available.

Take this a step further, in today's world, it is not only about whether you have couple of libraries handy, often times it is also about whether you have a framework for certain jobs, this is particularly true for all web applications.

In the same webcast, it was jokingly (or not so much jokingly) mentioned that now people probably use 14 frameworks in one application. For example, in a ASP.Net web application, you may use entity framework for database access, jquery (as a framework) to ease javascript development, and don't forget that ASP.Net itself is a framework...
