From a software managment standpoint, I have always been a fan of languages that are not verbose but still flexible enough to get what you need done.  Scads of lower-level code to gain what is usually just a teeny bit of runtime performance is not worth all the human error.  The world turns too quickly for that.

P.S. If anyone out there is a Flex / A.S.3 expert in the Los Angeles area, contact me – I am looking for a partner!
