It still sounds as if you're failing to probe the question/objection, and it
will be impossible to answer it unless you find out exactly what it is.  Is
it support?  Is it a concern about robustness?  Is it a matter of internal
company policy?  What were they expecting it to be written in?  C?  Python? 
Perl? VB? It will take different things in each case to answer it.

Imagine someone is delivering a proposal to a company you work for, and when
asked exactly that same question, replies, it will be written in Scheme. 
She goes on to explain that she is more productive in Scheme than any other
language, she can deliver cross platform apps of the sort you are asking for
in a tenth of the time, and she offers to do an instant demo for you of
something that would take several hours in C, in about 10 minutes.

What do you say to her, and what do you think, and what do you say to your
colleagues when you talk to them about it?
