Not to answer for someone else, but my experience has been simply that
the capabilities and optimizations provided by a scripting language
need to be tailored to the task at hand (let alone the binding to
system mechanics). In Achaea for example, we've got over four
different languages at work, all providing a more straight forward
solution to a different type of problem.
