[REBOL] Re: Need help for justification of using REBOL as dev language

I believe you already have the reasons identified in this email. Such
choices are rarely based only upon technical reasons. You have
identified cost, schedule demands and although "I feel good when I use
it" may not fly, implementer's productivity and learning curve issues
are valid. You may also want to identify the cost required for any of
the other implementations in terms of software components, hardware
resources, etc. I am not aware of any formal measure for a language's
level of complexity, but Java has thousands of classes in its API's and
the real challenge is learning how these operate. If the project is
already a success, particularly with a very short time to implement,
that can be a justification in itself.
I too work for a military agency and I have empathy for you. The
military mindset doesn't deal well with grey areas. They like black and
white answers.
There is always: It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.
