No doubt. Just wanted to share my experience, and the potential risks of starting a large project (or acquiring one) in a language most 'coders' aren't familiar with :o

There are potential risks, but didn't Paul Graham argue (about Lisp) that some of these less familiar languages can be your "special weapon"?

[TheCoelacanth]

It's a deathblow to a large project to simultaneously lose all developers regardless of what language its written in.

I wouldn't want to have most 'coders' on a project like this anyway...
