If your assumption were true I'd guess it wouldn't make any difference. The problem with your question is the assumption that the two versions would be the same - unless one was a copy of the other or both were copies of a third. The original language or framework has a lot to do with how you look at a problem. A painting done with watercolors will look very different from done with oils, even if the artist and scene are the same. Someone might counter this argument by pointing out Heather Jansch's driftwood sculptures of horses, which are remarkably made of bronze - but most of the time the choice of tools and materials has a lot to do with the result.
