If no lives depend on it, only money - I'd do:
D) (as you did), plus: Tell the customer there most probably are bugs and you'd like to fix them. (You don't have to tell everything. Just that some unexpected problems popped up and you had to spend more time on them, so you couldn't spend enough time on the final product. Let them work with current setup, while developing updates. Learn the new language on your own, start fixing bugs starting from the ugliest and working towards the smallest, and every week or so check in the update with the customer, maybe reporting what you did, maybe "just cosmetic changes and extra security checks", "just optimizations", till it's a fully professional product you can really be proud of. Do it on your own schedule, without rushing things, take months if needed. Treat it as "warranty maintenance". |
