There really isn't a debate; an initial exploratory prototype is being
written in prolog, after which a set of requirements and design goals
will be written up, and will be used to select the language(s) that will
be used for the implementation.
Our exploratory prototype is being used to see what is possible, and
will help us to develop our vision for the next portage.

OK, it will be one of the languages we will look at.
