I have a little different view. lpgl is no real problem for me - it may be used for non-open-soure stuff without problems. Therefore I see no real problems with that.
The other thing is: speed. And here it might differ a lot. I had written a heavy communication server in Smalltalk and with about 30 clients the Smalltalk process was CPU bound. No way to go. Introducing 0MQ and put all communication to an external thread and Smalltalk can fly again. That's the difference.
