You're way cool shiny new L33t uber toy is yesterday's news? Sorry man, you got old.
Development Language choice is almost NEVER for rational reasons. Those few choices that are rational do it for financial reasons. Financially speaking there's no good reason to have chosen perl in the first place. It doesn't do anything other tools don't do and you have to pay for the learning curve or get locked in to those developers that know it. Either way it costs your business money.
Get over it and learn what people want to pay you to program in. Or fade away. Your choice
Java has a bad reputation for client side development. I've done a little client side and it was painful. I'm not all that thrilled with the implementations of the interpreter provided for clients. Everyone already has their own preferred tools for server side stuff. So nobody wants it unless they're already a java programmer.
It would be ineresting to see if the benefits were worth more than the drawbacks. Why don't you take some measurements and use it for a study/paper/thesis?
If they choose a reasonable language it will work fine and you will learn your tools well. I hope they didn't pick a microsoft languagre. It will be made obsolete in two years and your experience will be wasted.
Wow. What is Sergey Solyanik smoking? It's been very obvious for many years that Microsoft design decisions are made for financial reasons, not technical ones.
if one IS willing to treat you like a decent human being then they're more deserving of the fee they'll get for placing you. They may also be able to point you toward better jobs as well.

The issue of intellectual property as envisioned by the founding fathers of the United States boiled down to the greatest good for the greatest number. If there were no copyright then anyone could freely copy works and society would benefit. They believed there should be some *SHORT* period of time where the work was protected so the author of the work could make some profit from it. They tried to balance the benefits to all. Our current system came about as the result of lobbying by Corporations to extend the protections. Senator Oren Hatch, a supporter of IP, is a perfect example of how corporations lobbied lawmakers. If you research a little you'll see why he's such a supporter. He's selling music over the internet. A corporation doesn't care about anyone. It's only mandate is to make money for it's shareholders. If you really want to fix what's wrong with the United States you'll figure out how to change that. There are a LOT of horrible being done because of the unrestrained profit motive of corporations. The IP issue will take care of itself.
I've gotten a letter from my electric company every month for quite a while. They explain how the smart meters work. They want me to put in a meter that will let THEM turn off the power during peak demand (or whenever else they'd like). Maybe I'll learn how to hack the meters and start turning off my neighbors power for fun.
"It's truly sad that the fear of losing our jobs and the necessity of supporting our families comes first before the security of highly confidential information."
Other people have different priorities than you. To a lot of them their family is more important than anything else. It's not a hard concept.
You really ought to consider strongly trying to get them to improve the security by emphasizing the potential danger first. The downsides to other choices are large for lots of people. you included. Before you step off the cliff give it a lot of thought, make the effort, and document that you did so in such a way nobody can question it.
It's simple and doesn't need a study. I don't want everyone in the world to be able to interrupt me whenever they want to. That they expect me to drop what I'm doing and cater to them instantly is rude and selfish. Unlike children I have something to accomplish and chattering about nothing isn't the goal and isn't useful. I've found even paid support is slower than google for finding answers to technical issues. Leave a message. I WILL answer it.
When land line telephones had a receiver you could unscrew this was a good prank. Get a pound of lead shot. Take a small plastic bag and put in an ounce of lead shot. Disassemble Prankee's phone and add weight to the receiver. Make sure it doesn't rattle around and spoil the fun. Every day add another ounce of weight to their phone. Try not to laugh while waiting for them to notice.
* It's a difficult problem with no easy solutions. * people with experience have jobs. * You keep your job by delivering working solutions, not research. Connect the dots.
The "truly elite" tend to be hard to work with. An employee who works with his employer and turns it decent work is preferable to a touchy prima donna that leaves you in the lurch.
I thought read ahead caching in the hard disk would have accomplished 90% of what this does. I guess being smarter is more beneficial than I had thought

What you've seen seems only to be typical of small shops. Larger shops where they have something to loose tend to be careful of litigation. I've had none of those experiences. I do however recommend you never work for a rich or powerful individual. Wealth/power tends to make them think they're allowed to do anything they want no matter how evil. Look at most of the celeb news for a perfect example.
