Language as the difficult decision?

When you come across a problem that can be solved roughly the same way in all of the languages you know, with the assumptions that you know the set of languages to the same level and/or you enjoy coding in them just as well, how do you pick which one to use?

What decisions should go into the language choice: If you are going to open source it so do you want it to be accessible to the most number of programmers or do you want it to be accessible to a smaller number of higher quality programmers? Do you choose it for long term maintainability or for quick iteration? Or is there something else that goes into your pick?
