I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so apologies if I am in the wrong area...
I have an idea for an application, and the sf platform makes total sense as a market/environment.  However, this application involves some extremely intensive business logic such as Monte Carlo simulation and optimization algorithms.  Is this a realistic and appropriate application to build using Apex?  I don't want to have to host an environment that supports the logic, and I like the idea of not having to maintain the application from version to version.  I don't want to get 90% done and find out that there is some reason that I can't host this on Force.com...
Thanks in advance
