It's really no different from programming with Python, Perl, Progress or C#, which I also do at work. It's the matter of choosing the right tool for the right job. Every piece of software I do are all in-house apps for the company I work for, so I get to choose the language.
The reason for choosing Blitz for the job was the requirement for a Win32+Linux platform server-client GUI app which very few programming languages do in a "rapid application development" -way. Blitz is god-sent in some situations. =)
In any case, I look forward to your custom calendar type. It's for Ananta (my game project), not for work, provided you release it as public domain ;)
