> All mainstream, general purpose programming languages are (basically) Turing-complete, and therefore any programme you can write in one you can, in fact, write in another. There is a computational equivalence between them. The main differences are instead in the expressiveness of the languages, the guardrails they give you, and their performance characteristics (although this is possibly more of a runtime/compiler implementation question).

Yes, as I like to tell project managers, everything can be implemented.

... But the Google drive sdk is available in python, java, and node.

Tooling, deployment, library ecosystem, and talent pool are just as important when choosing a language or framework as performance, syntax, or guardrails. Unless you have unlimited budget!
