Amen man... What ever happened to "tight" code?
These retarded languages are needed for large corporations with large budgets that need to plan for the future -- employee turnover! ...so when they layoff employees they can just hand the new guy an XML and Java book and say, "Read this" and pick up where the last guy left off... but you STILL have to agree that standardization is not HUMANE or as FAST or as EFFICIENT as unique people providing unique solutions for unique problems...
If you read the book Hackers, there's a chapter about Wozniak, I think the guy that invented the hardware for the first Apple computer... Anyway they talk about how these guys would etch circuit boards at home and how these first computer circuits patterns would begin to take on the unique personality of the designer...
There's something to be said for craftsmanship -- now you got a buch of automatons taking orders from Bill Gates... it's all like something out of a scary Isaac Asimov future.
