"large scale application development will not be terse".

They are not terse because that is the way they are written. They are large because they are large. They could be small. They could be medium sized. Consider the Tau.

A lot of enterpise apps could be simplified by reducing them to datastructures and event handlers, but they tend to sprawl. They have multiple interfaces where they could add multiplexors to simplify things. All things can be simplified with time, and "large scale" doesn't mean "scaleable", "powerful", or "advanced", or even "feature rich" -- it just means "large scale". Consider the Tau.
