But what do you want from a prototype?
That code should not be used for a production system - at least in 
my opinion  and of course everyone is free to have their own opinion.
I thought the aim of the prototype was to obtain a better view of the
requirements in the analysis of the problem.
The design of the production system should then based on the 
information obtained.
The requirements for a prototyping system are necessarily different 
from those for a production system.

You may also want to look at incr Tcl. It is claimed to have a 
structure similar to C++, but of course is still a prototyping script.
