You have to be crazy to recommend to a person who is complaining about tie in to a vendor solution and he should 'hire 5 experiences C++ programmers' and hope that they stick around for the future. When looking at languages and architecture you shouldn't go down a path whereby you end up over the barrel with 5 programmers telling you they want a 500% pay raise because they designed/wrote/implemented your webserver/application/infrastructure? Balance is the key
