I think so.
One of the questions we face is "why not just use Ruby?" The size of
the code and of the development effort shouldn't be a constraint.
Speed of execution or lack of connectivity (solid CORBA, perhaps an
RMI gateway, etc.) are probably reasonable excuses in certain
circumstances, but "because it's a big project" shouldn't be.
