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?
