That depends on the journal, and the referees they can find to 
peer-review the papers that get submitted for publication.

My wife edited a couple of psycholinguistic journals for a while, and 
finding good referees took a lot of work (and she was good at it).

Review Scientific Instruments couldn't find good referees for papers 
with electronic content for many years, and I've published rude comments 
about it there from time to time.

That usually means becoming active in a trade union, which employers 
don't like.

But not elegantly. It's one small step up from assembler, which lets you 
do absolutely everything.

Basic was Fortran dumbed down for small processors.

At one job the computer manager was terrified of hackers, so I couldn't 
run any kind of compiled program, and had to do my number crunching in 
Excel. Our sub-contractor didn't have any trouble translating the 
procedures into executable code, but it did waste a lot of my time.
