IBM first introduced PDSEs about 27 years ago. IBM first introduced Java on OS/390 about 21 years ago.
That's a long, long time ago. It's impossible to defend stubborn opposition to these and to other highly mature technologies. Business (and the business of government) will get done, with or without you. If that's how you choose to (mis)behave, then I can't criticize managers who decide to chuck you in the garbage heap of history. If you won't change, then you should be/will be changed. I suppose we can quibble about how much change makes business sense in particular contexts, but zero is the wrong answer. Jimmy Iovine said it well: "Never stop being of service."
