I imagine that there are many reasons a client might want a specific language. Perhaps one day they envision bringing the application in-house, and want to buy the code. Perhaps they've had bad experiences with one language or another. Perhaps they have a partnership with MS and feel that they can get a higher level of service with one over the other.
It's either do it the client way or don't do it at all, isn't it?

Any client who comes to me saying they want X language would worry me. They should be concerned with Y results. Also, if a client asked for j2ee, or said j2ee was ok, then why would CF _not_ be ok??
