So you are talking about a one-man project here? Because your original
flame-bait didn't mention that. Most of the success stories you read
are about *teams* of programmers attacking problems that typically
require larger teams in conventional languages. Not single programmers
doing their own thing. Failures only become famous when they involve
enough people, and are usually only loosely related to the
implementation language. Except for trolls on newsgroups who love to
blame their personal failure on a computer language.
