Well, first, it will be less of a decision, but rather something like survival
of the fittest. Second, compiled languages are fine for performance
critical stuff. Coding application logic in a scripting language makes
much more sense to me. At the end of the day, efficiency at creation
time can matter more than efficiency at run time. I expect this to be
an important factor in the future -- if not already.
