  This is so hard to fathom from my viewpoint. In the US, it seems, every large company has a software R&D department that has been writing Java for 30 years. I exaggerate, but I wonder: do you not have bank chains, grocery chains, major construction firms, accounting and payroll, or energy and water utilities? I would think, also, given the trade embargo, you'd have to write and maintain (somewhere within your borders) all the software which an American company might buy off-the-shelf.

    Iran has a very strong Microsoft roots and very serious brain drain problem. Right now, in jobinja.ir there are 84 spring jop openings and 346 .net job openings. I have worked with many of these "enterprise" .net code bases and it's as if they're written by people who keep experiencing their first year college experience every year, not people who have N years of professional experience. Oh and they went to college in the 1970s. Of the few talents who decided to remain in the country, even fewer want to do boring enterprise work and they prefer staying on the "bleeding edge". Therefore there are very few companies doing java which can compete with foreign firms in payment(and so can keep talent and code quality).
