No I just think knowing one language well is useful, so the language
better fit more than one purpose.  Given a lot of things are not done
well in OO, java is not a good tool for many things.  It is too focused
on the current fad in programming languages. :)  Or perhaps java is the
current fad in programming languages.  Programmers are expensive, just
make the customer throw more resources at it to make up for us using
this inefficient high level technology that does everything for us just
inefficiently.  And OO is still a bad fit for a lot of problems.  Java
can't be used unless you make it OO.
