Even still, the majority of things being built on the web perform largely the same if it's being built in Ruby or Rust or Node or Go. Only very niche things, that an LLM would probably fumble over anyway, really benefit from picking the perfect language/framework. The only real advantage to naming your language in the initial prompt is that you can be assured that you'll be able to understand the code when the GPU spins down and output is in front of you.

> you'll be able to understand the code

This should always be a goal. Doing anything major without being able to review manually is just asking for pain over time, or be ready to feed more and more tokens to the fire to reduce sloppiness.
