The Zen of Java

Turgid verbosity is better than brevity.
Multiple lines of code are better than concise simplicity.
Mid-1980’s software techniques are better than modern adaptable technology.
Many legacy libraries are better than clean organization.
Slow, costly development with large overhead is better than agility.
It’s better to type lots of soul-deadening crap having the grace of four-day old road kill than to quickly solve a problem.

~ Zen of Java
