Steven McCown explains in detail what was bothering me about using Perl or Ruby. The reality is that those languages and the average Windows box just don't jive. But Java does.
So does Python. Actually, I'm not really sure what you are talking about, but I haven't tried much Perl or Ruby on windows, so maybe there is something non-jivey there, I don't know. Python and python-based apps install and run on windows just fine. If we are doing a web based application, then non-geeky end-users don't have to worry about any of the system administration/security stuff that people are bringing up. One more thing. I agree with the people that are saying we should get a sourceforge project going and a seperate mailing list and really get to work, instead of having this vague discussion about what might be. In fact, I did this with a couple friends of mine a while back: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctm but it never really got anywhere, as you can see. I don't feel like I have the time or expertise to really lead this project, but if you don't want to go through the pain of starting a new sourceforge project I'd be more than willing to hand this one over. My wife is having a baby tomorrow, so don't expect me to reply for a few days, but I thought I'd throw that it out there.
