> If it takes ten times as much code as it would to program in Haskell, that is all right, because the IDE will generate half of it for you, and you are still being paid to write the other half.

Well that explains it. For me, I’m not going to touch Java unless I’m being paid to do it. IMO it’s a travesty that Java is the language of the AP test, because it really leaves the impression in young people that all of programming is Java. If that were the case, I’d be as far away from programming and computers as I could get.
