I’d guess a pro golfer with one 7 iron can beat nearly all regular golfers with a full set of the best clubs.
Of course the one thing most people don’t consider is maintainability, which means not only how readable the code is, but how easy it is to find people who know how to maintain the code. That’s why Java/C# are the winners, over languages that while better, don’t have nearly as many people who know it. All Java and C# has to be is “good enough.”
