Unfortunately, people rise in management by NOT making waves...
Hi Phil,
You are absolutely right. What they fear is that:
1. Currently only I understand Ruby.
2. Java is in vogue. They want the language to be there after 10-20
years...I am currently writing a small introduction letter to my boss...

What do you mean making waves? Confused…

it’s the MATZ’S position that Ruby will never be REAL WORLD language.
it’s his own toy and never will appreciate features needed for
corporate use

What he means is that people usually don’t rise in management by taking
risks. In general, management likes the status quo. New things tend
to scare managers. Which is why engineers (those who do tend to like to
investigate new things anyway) usually end up sneaking the new technology
in the backdoor and then revealing this after it’s become an integral part
of the operation. (I suspect that if you look at Linux adoption or Perl
adoption or even early Java adoption you’ll find this pattern to be true).
