If you are on a team that does nothing but Java on a MAWS or corp platform, brazil was built for you and I wouldn't be surprised that you like it. But...if you deviate slightly, you run the chance of not getting what you need. If you stray away from the JVM or Ruby, chances are you will never get anything at all, let alone what you need.

ruby, java, perl :S , python, roll-your-own have done it all. :) yes, the learning curve can be pretty steep, but one thing that always helps is that the probability that there is somebody out there that did it already is very high. you just need to be curios and invest into learning it and looking at what others are doing.
