I have held out since I love the language. I started using Java when it was new and actually very pragmatic and useful. Hated the enterprise phase, got bogged down by it but rose from the ashes. Now I'm a strong proponent of simplicity and libs over frameworks. And Java has great speed and simplicity for most tasks when memory management isn't a problem. But it's a constant struggle against old values in the business. And it doesn't take many conservative and bureucratic people to ruin a creative crowd. So I am looking to jump ship to what I consider in many ways inferior languages just to be able to be part of a modern culture.
To be clear, I still work at a company which is extremely forward (in averyting in beta sort of way). But still these old values hold everyone back and cause endless discussions of frameworks, processes and control structures vs creativity and speed.
