Would you use AHK to write a program as part of a business solution for a large company?

I have been asked to provide a solution to somebody, I usually use VB.net, but in this instance AHK would work better.

I am new to AHK so I'm not completely aware of its capabilities or weaknesses, I guess I want to know if it's a serious enough programming language to be able to sell to large businesses.

And are there any obvious reasons why this is not a good idea?


Thanks.

It really depends on what exactly you want to do with it...

That sounds like, "Do I have to buy a Porsche?" .

It depends if you ...
a) wanna become a member of Snoop Doggy Dogs posse
b) ...r focus is to travel from A to B
c) own your own gas station
d) ...

Back to the topic. My answer is YES. I've done it.

Nothing fancy, I've just written something to rename .txt files into .csv. It's a problem a customer has been having trouble with and I said I'd sort it out.

I would like to use AHK if possible because it's clean and simple.



Great, thanks.

Something like that would be perfect for AHK

can do this also with a DOS command
I use AHK for everything (ok, lack of other programming languages)
-accounting,bookkeeping/database/convert/calculations/internet TV/Music search/search..... endless...
for a big firm I read big files from system and convert it to command files
save hours of time (and my eyes) and made no failure
