For the situations I'm thinking about, mostly lack of basic acceptance.
We tried to get NASA to use Croquet for some of their next-gen stuff but
it was a complete no-go. They used Java for all the reasons mentioned
but if there would've been a way of integrating efficiently we might
have had a chance (they'll likely be using Jython or Scala instead now).
