I meant scale in terms of program size and complexity. You can hook a
web interface to a database in about any language and crank things
through as fast as the database can respond - especially if you
load-balance across a bunch of servers. But how complicated can you
make something before you hit a wall with multiple developers clobbering
each other or becoming so version-dependent that you are afraid to
update anything?
