I say or point to "Revolution". If the client's mind is not brainwashed
with "the only truth is C++" religion he usually accepts this fact
without any fear of falling into an heresy :-). And today, when many
programmers say "single language is never enough because there is no
perfect language" I feel quite comfortable with Rev in my toolkit. You
can also say that, according to the Tiobe index Revolution is among the
first 150 languages (and there are thousands of other languages) used in
business and industry and is assigned to the same group together with
well known R, Mathematica and SPSS, AppleScript, PostScript, Oberon,
VBScript and XSLT. Also they may be impressed by the fact that some
software used in connection with Landsat 7 satellite is written in
Revolution, and Revolution was also being used in European Community 6th
framework projects.
all the best!

When potential clients and/or investors ask you "What language
did you make this in/with?" and after saying Revolution (I usually
say Transcript, I like that name much better) they say "I've never
heard of that" What do you tell them?
The best counter, for me, for the above exchange is "Mike Markkula,
the angel investor that got Apple off the ground has invested in Rev."
My project is a finalist at Le Web 2008, the largest startup event
in Europe (Wall Street Journal, LinkedIn founder, TED, etc etc will be
there along with lots of investors). There are 30 finalists, we do
presentations and then three are picked as co-winners.
The real prize is getting to speak with lots of investors from
the US & Europe over several days. I need to make the most of this
as I like good food & wine, unfortunately those things cost cash ;-)
I need to take advantage of this opportunity.
What do you say about Rev (or MetaCard)?
