and it is easier to *evolve* a prototype (good continuity
between design and implementation spaces, is how SE pundits
might put it?), especially if good coding practice is
followed.

NB (since we're talking productivity) surely there's huge
scope for refactoring support within an IDE (Eclipse?)
e.g. adding extra params, type checking, procedurising
chunks of code, ...
