I have often quipped about this to my lecturer, who is very pro Java.
Suffice it to say, he's not keen.  :)  What really annoys him is when I
(seemingly) submit the Ruby equivalent of an answer into  my work... :)

Hmm, in other news, it's my birthday.  :/  I feel old (not as old as Ben
-- I don't think that's possible, is it?  :P).  But I have finally got a
copy of Vol 1 of "The Nuggets" collection.  Four CDs of timeless and
classic 1960s American psychedelia music.  Yay.  :)  I can _finally_
update my TAG/author bio to reflect this.
