(You left out Computer Language and AI Expert! :-) I'm amazed at the number
of people working in this field who have never heard of the ACM or the IEEE
Computer Society.  Lack of knowledge combined with a high RC (Resistance to
Change) factor make the use of new languages and techniques, perhaps supporting
new programming paradigms, very hard to import into organizations.

Sigh.
