What I meant was that, writing two programs in two different languages to perform the same operations will give you the same output. I understand that other differences like whether the language is compiled/interpreted or managed/unmanaged would effect things like memory usage or speed, or what actual instructions are carried out by the CPU, but they wouldn't effect the outcomes of the programs if they're both written to do the same thing.
