I agree that it would be ideal to have a one-size-fits-all solution
which affords rapid development time and infinite scalability across all
possible uses.
But in the here and now, given the evident usefulness of imperfect
systems like Perl/Python/PHP/Ruby, it seems there's room for another
entrant as long as it adds value to the mix.
Sure, it won't be perfect. But since imperfect systems are already
driving this imperfect world, I see no harm in pursuing it.
And of course suggestions which would bring it closer to becoming the
first perfect solution would be welcome.
