We're limited to what we can do/use by the technical depth/breadth of the 'architects' (mid-level devs at best) that we have. Pretty much limits us to java 1.4

We're limited to what we can do/use by the technical depth/breadth of the 'architects' (mid-level devs at best) that we have. Pretty much limits us to java 1.4 and earlier and libs that have been open source for at least a decade. I'd written some script in ruby to help us automate some maven grunt work and they said they'd rather spend 6 hours doing it manually than run ruby as they hadn't vetted ruby.
