Remember Brooks’ Law (or one of them): once a code base reaches a certain size, a skilled programmer that is familiar with it is only able to contribute about 10 lines of suitably-debugged code per day. And that applies across a wide range of language abstraction levels, from assembler all the way up to what he called “metaprogramming” languages, or very- high-level languages. Consider how little 10 lines of assembler can do, versus 10 lines of shell script or Python or Lisp code. So the only way to improve programmer productivity is to move to higher- and higher-level languages.
