So here's my pitch. The money saved in development time and maintenanceby using scripting languages for apps more than offsets any step up inmemory or CPU speed that the clients might need, if any boost at all isneeded.
I would really like to take the opportunity here to point out that the difference isn't between "real programming" languages and "scripting" languages, but rather between the categories of languages which are interpreted, runtime-compiled, or just-in-time compiled versus categories of languages which are pre-compiled to binary executables.
Insofar as interactivity, _I_ have a hard time telling the differences between well-designed GUI applications built from either camp of programming languages. I'm a very impatient man when it comes to computer interactivity, too.
