But it *is* verbose.

My current cheering project is Ruby on Rails. Do you know why? Because of the "Don't Repeat Yourself" philosphy. If you write something in Java, you have to write (and maintain!) three slightly different copies of everything. Ok, *some* code tools will make it easier on you, but they sometimes prevent the coder from doing some things that would be possible otherwise.I also happen to think "the less lines of code there are, a bug will have less places to hide." :-)
