I think this is a case of premature optimisation. Trolls under Bridges is struggling to hit v1.0 due to the limited memory capacity of trolls, but someone is hard at work on a Node.js implementation of the interpreter. This will allow spawning a new worker process, or "troglodyte", for each request, and will be totally webscale (there will be no unnecessary trolling for events).

In addition, there's also a JVM port of TrollScript in the works, which will add a static type system to the language for troll-safety. This should alleviate any concerns that the language would be unmaintainable for large systems. JTrollScript will also have type inference to maintain the terseness of the original language.
