Unfortunately, people rise in management by NOT making waves…

Hi Phil,

You are absolutely right. What they fear is that:

  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 is KixStart? (I’m a Linux guy, so I wouldn’t know).
