Steve: I work for major corporations and my applications need to comply with all audits internal or SOX. The language I use has never come into question. They look at "are you transmitting sensitive information over SMTP?", "Do you have backup and restore procedures in place?" and the like.
My customers have hundreds of third party applications written in just about every language you can imagine. Many of them are actually written in VFP! The bottom line is are they in compliance with corporate policies and procedures.
