They (well two that I know of) allow you to use deploy both languages in the solutionsphere and render the distinction moot. Use whichever one best suits the task. NXD's allow you to deliver a complete solution and if you can sell a complete solution you can bypass the objectionists. The most potent line of attack against such infiltration will be on grounds of performance and that may also be a concern even if the head honcho is on your side so that rather than syntax prettification is where the community will get most bang for it's R&D buck. Performance and an ability to co-exist and integrate peacefully with a SQL repository - that takes care of the engineering side of the equation.
