if they are whinging about the cost of multiple licenses why not challenge with the cost of multi-skilled developers.
no
doubt its best to have developers with multiple skills but in a global
skills shortage (of all languages) is it good to have people very
experienced *commercially* with cf become very *commercially*
experienced with another language Ruby in your case.
negative being that you'll now have devs that can easily leave
and get a job in 2 languages instead of one, and if you want new devs
to hit the ground running then they'll need to be really experienced at
both languages (because of all your old legacy code), which will mean
that due to a global skills shortage you'll be paying a fair bit more
then say just a dev experienced in CF or just Ruby or what ever.
now you might only be paying $10k extra per dev (depending on
where in the world you are) but the thing is new CF licences would work
out a lot cheaper.
Barry are you government? if so I'd stick
with adobe technology solely for its experience with digitising
documents and making them portable (this is a lot more then standard
pdf's). as everything continues becomes digital
