Naively small-scale question that demands a large-scale answer the size of a book. On the other hand, because of my current experience with a *very* "large-scale" Ruby on Rails system, my answer is "YES!" :) "Large-scale" projects have many axes of "largeness" and solutions thereof. In the big picture, most of those axes have no correlation with an implementation language's ability to do eval() or introspection, etc. That is not to say that the choice of language does not have an impact on the feasibility (time-to-market, maintenance cost, deployment cost, etc.) of a large system. But at some point, you need to push those details down into other layers of design and live with what you have. http://kurtstephens.com
