Too bad because if you actually built real systems with the tools you mention, you would realize that the press releases have a lot of hype and not a lot of substance.  You do realize that all the systems you've mentioned are built from the languages/platforms you shun and intended to complement and not replace them, right? You tout the ability to manage rules in a BRMS, but have you ever tried searching for rules in products like Blaze Advisor? Ha ha...I'd take procedural code and grep any day of the week (not to mention that SRL is procedural anway). I think you regurgitate a lot of information from press releases.
