I believe that the speed of development is influenced by how the
programmer has structured the foundational components.

I believe Lisp-like languages are ideal for this purpose. Unlike many
other languages, which can make speeding up development a challenge,
Lisp-like languages make the process much easier and more
straightforward.

I am sorry that you haven't arrived at that understanding yet, but
it's great that you grasped it in another language.

What works, works.

I would use software in any language if it gives me product or service
I need.

I gave you references, Lisp is so much faster than your praised babies.
