However, Amazon claims AWS Lambda to be a platform for various application scenarios. But the statement only stands true in the case of languages supported by the platform: Java, Python, and Node.js.

Lambda can be triggered from more than 200 AWS services and software-as-a-service applications. Any kind of code in one of the languages that Lambda supports might be run.
