Despite all the recent hoopla promoting dynamic languages as a silver bullet to lead out us out of our productivity malaise, I've always wondered if dynamic languages could scale. I use the word 'scale' here to mean development scalability rather than system scalability. Development scalability means that we can build a solution with many teams coordinating in relatively independence. The burning question is "Can a dynamic language be successfully used for developing large scale complex software systems?".

chandler was going nowhere from the start. i remember looking at the start of it in 2002 or so, thinking that it was so vague, poorly run and with no specified deliverables that nothing was ever going to come of it. they should have killed it ages ago.
however, from what i've seen, the demise (possibly?) of it shouldn't be attributed to the lack of ability of dynamic languages to scale. that's a mighty large leap of logic.
