If I'm rewriting someting on the fly, if I need true programmatic

*When* do you find heavy needs for these features?
That's like asking, "When do you need to write a loop?" You write it
when you need it.
And, could that functionality by handled by something else in modern
scripting langs?
Absolutely. It just requires more glue. The question is whether the
glue is irritating enough to switch languages.
