Beautiful!  You can't use Ada, a language designed for lasting,
maintainable programs, because it's not been demonstrated that any
of your colleagues can handle it.  But it's assumed that there must
be someone around who knows the scripting language you chose, and
your program in that language will be maintainable.  The third
option being C/C++ because lots of your colleagues know that, and
the fact the code is generated by machine as an intermediate
"high level assembler" will certainly not be any problem.
I love it!  #.#
