It would result in a learning curve, but probably no more than would any C library. One thing I have found is that anything free and/or OSS - whether it's an application, a library, or whatever - is looked at and seriously considered by everyone here as a first choice (unlike some other companies I've worked for where anything free was immediately dismissed as crap.)
