This certainly presents some opportunities.   No idea what the learning curve would be like, but I'd imagine it throws up some interesting ideas for certain people here.

It reminds me of one of the old saws from the people in the LISP, Scheme and AI community when people criticize high-level languages as inefficient. Their reply is that for most purposes, a powerful language that saves you development time is way better than a low-level language that doesn't let you actually do anything.
