Well, I'd like to differentiate between different use cases. Am I exploring an idea on a lazy afternoon or am I one of dozens contributing to a code base older than the millennium in which bugs might cause measurable loss and some top500 exec call our enterprise's exec? I wouldn't think it reasonable to expect that there is one language which suits those (and there are other) needs equally well. I know which language I'll enjoy better and which my co-workers (and potentially my later self) enjoy better. It helps to be paid for using the latter.
