perhaps the term is an oxymoron. from my (admittedly limited) experience, `executive-level' folks don't have much interest or even experience in getting the job done (and no - visions and sales promises don't run on servers, as much as we'd like to hope; code, as flawed as it often is, does)

take javascript - it's more powerful (as a `core' language) than java (it lets you write code at runtime). now go look for job openings which require js. how many LISP openings out there?
