It's not anti-Java (Score:2)

It's not anti-Java so much as anti-complexity. That kind of complexity is certainly possible with Perl. We just don't bother.

  I'd argue that we sometimes bother, but we seem to do a better job thus far of hiding it from the end user.
  I made a comment as "Both sides of the story" in that article by the way.. Most of the popular modules have a "Simple" wrapper around them. People rarely seem to bother doing this in the Java community.
