No. You are just moving the entry barrier against another dev group
(those who would know perl but not eg C).
And because of the manual memory management of the language you're
promoting, you would both:
- increase the actual barrier entry (need to understand how to
properly do mem management, ...)
- introduce new classes of bugs (and among them a lot of security ones
(overwriting stack and the like)

</I>
That's a nop argument. Rewriting from scratch needs more manpower
whatever is the number of tools...
