> Er, every employer I've ever had has been very strict about the introduction of any new technology, library, language, etc. Your experience differs from mine. For me, while I've often been told what language to write code in, I've never been told what features of the language I am or am not allowed to use. Regarding libraries, I've always used relevant open source ones, paying attention to licensing issues as appropriate.
