It depends on whether you are building a prototype to
be thrown away or whether you start out with the
entire 500.000 line program and try to get it right
on the first try. It seems reasonable to me that you
may want a "quicky" language to prototype a medium-size
(~10K-30K lines) application which can then be rewritten
into the final application in a different language.
Remember: always plan on writing it at least twice.
You will write it twice anyway, so you might as well
plan on it.
