Sadly, for programmers who work where the impressionable suits reign, it's usually the suits who pick the tools their underlings will have to use to assemble whatever was conceived in the demos. They'll end up having to deploy Hadoop on Windows 8 Server and talk to it using the vile offspring of Clippy and Hadoop that lives under System.DraggyDroppy.

And yet the suits wonder why there is such a shortage of competent developers who are willing to work in .NET.

A lot of things can be utterly incomprehensible to the suits. We have to be patient with them.
