One small counter I have is that most software development has dependencies anyhow - and with compiled languages this is quite a pain in the arse to manage. So

One small counter I have is that most software development has dependencies anyhow - and with compiled languages this is quite a pain in the arse to manage. So installing tcl or lua or python or ruby or perl is just a normal problem amongst other problems. If you want type systems everywhere then I think that's another debate. That is really a total rejection of almost all scripting languages for all purposes.
