"If you are saying that design complexity cannot possibly be caused by the language then I strongly disagree."

Design _should_ be separate from its implementation, they are separate stages.

But if you are designing as you go then its likely to all turn to shit a few times anyway, the efficiency loss of the language probably isnt significant compared to lost time due to re-writing whole sections of code.

That is the waterfall method. I do not find it as effective or efficient as the iteration method.
