Ahah!!!! so "flashy" IS one of the keys to what language some chose to use.
It's a programming language, not tennis shoes.  

Define "flashy" as it applies to a programming language, and explain how if
a language is flasy, why one would want/not want to use it.

This is not directed at the original poster, but anyone who thinks
programming in a language because it's "flashy" is a good reason.
