How much information is available for EGL?  How much talent?

Compare this to the amount of information and talent available for JSP, 
HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

I would venture to guess that any web developer you hired, to develop 
the UI portion of a IBM i based web app, would know absolutlely ZERO 
about EGL and gobs about JSP, HTML, CSS, and JS.  And I suspect they 
wouldn't be too keen on expending a lot of effort into learning a new, 
niche, development language.

JMO, of course.
