I have a professor telling me this is what he wants a project written in. It's currently a terrible mess of JSPs, and I have half a mind to simply re-write it in Django or RoR. How do I convince him to switch from JSPs to Django/RoR instead of this RunRev thing?

It's less similar to RoR and more similar to Cappuccino or something.

More often than not, the choice of language is far less important than the choice of programmer and the comfort in the target language and the amount of pre-debugged library code that already exists. So if you think you can do better with Django/RoR, just say so.

Are you really talking about Rev? Because there is no Java anything whatsoever in Rev, and revTalk, the language, is completely unlike Java or JavaSCript.
