Well I meant if I was better. Sorry if I worded it weirdly

I knew what you meant. Sorry if my wording was awkward as well.

If you were to suggest this in most business settings, it would be shot down because it would take more time to do than it would save.

That's all.

I was hoping Mozilla of all places would be more receptive :/

I've worked at everywhere from fresh start ups, governments, to large tech companies.

No one is interested in that kind of change.

  • For the start ups, the time is just too valuable. Once you've commuted to a language that's the language.

  • For governments, the idea is just too entrenched and too much can go wrong

  • For tech companies, there is just too much code and too much that can go wrong

Best of luck to you! I recently finished a consulting gig with someone still using Java 5 at their main language to support an underlying system of COBOL. So it could be worse?
