Creating a solution to find leaf nodes on a tree will be significantly less elegant in a procedural language that does not support recursion (for example). All languages have their strengths and weaknesses, and depending on the context of the problem each can represent the solution in very different levels of elegance. @Adam –

If you look at some ideas behind the theory of computation, programming languages solve the same class of problems. There is typically not an algorithm that could be implemented in one language, but another. C could be compiled into Java and Java could be compiled into C. I disagree.
