I think the question of paid developer time is somewhat orthogonal to that
of language choice, save for one element. In general you don't want to be
the biggest user of a given language/framework/what-have/you (I'm just
going to say framework to keep it general) unless you're willing to
upstream patches to that framework and forego the advantages of broad use.
Sometimes that's valuable if the framework is particularly interesting but
in almost all cases you'll want a paid developer working on the project in
a serious capacity.
However if the project depends on more common and robust frameworks then
the issue of a paid developer is less of a problem. If we were choosing
between coffeescript and JavaScript, it wouldn't really come up.
As for the language choice, I'd recommend JS but the project is large
enough that rebuilding it in a different language may be too much.

I would like to run a strawpoll and please
respond to this thread by
answering with either Javascript, Coffeescript or Coco [...]
Coco comes with some syntactic sugar, but since Coco is not one of the
standard languages I assume the choice for Coco back then means that
Coco comes with real killer features that make Coco like a perfect
match for limn.
We would have to make up for those features when switching to other
languages.
However, doing a quick search for the Coco choice on limn, I could not
find any such discussion.
Is there some writeup on why Coco has been chosen, or which aspects of
Coco/limn make them a perfect match?
Best regards,
Christian
