No, but building your project in a language that currently costs 2-10x per production instance with licensing/hosting costs thrown in sure as heck can.

I love C# compared to Java but I write more Java today because I hate Windows and want no part of automating cloud deployments to Windows target servers. So maybe one day when (soon?) .Net Core gets production ready in Linux I'll make the jump- but I'm not going to vastly increase my hosting costs for a language when all of the others can be done on a cheaper, more well suited system.
