It's usually the programmer that can't handle the large, complex system. I do agree that some languages can't do certain things, or can't do certain things efficiently, but I don't agree that EUPHORIA has demonstrated itself to be one of these. Of course, I'm not programming huge apps for global corporations. I am creating many functional programs, however, much more efficiently than if I used any other language. That's what's important to me, because if my programs will look and work the same regardless of what language I use, I gotta go then with what I find good to use. The important thing these days to any programmer is ease of development.
