Does the backend language of a CMS matter?

We are a .NET shop, we'd love to use Django, Drupal, etc. But does that also mean we need a dedicated Python resource to support these CMS'?

Or could we use these CMS' out of the box?

Or would we just be better off with a .NET CMS like Umbraco or Orchid?

If you use a CMS to build something of any complexity, you will almost inevitably wind up writing some custom code for it. In that case, I think the most important thing, much more important than what language the developers chose, is how extensible and well-documented it actually is.

Once you have an app deployed, it takes a life of its own. Absolutely, the whole stack matters a lot.

So the backend language of the CMS does matter, because we'll eventually have to modify it to fit business needs?
