Sure, but it depends on the task. For instance if I need to talk to operating system APIs directly then C (or ObjC on Mac) might still be the better choice. Best tool for the job etc... I guess the gist is that languages that are built around the idea of high level abstractions and enforcing a specific coding style on large teams might not be the best language for exploring and prototyping.
