BUT there is more to consider: What is about the future of your web application ... do you want to develop in the next years with your core team or do you intend to outsource the maintenance to some external company. In the later case i imagine you might have problem to find a company. This is just one aspect of the missing ecosystem for Web design in the Ada community. Sorry for sounding like a spoil sport; but there is more then tech to this issue :-) > Thanks in advance.
