That java theory was actually first used for girls:
Girls = time * money...
Java is really slow and takes up a lot of resources on my computer; I remember bringing up the task manager and seeing that java.exe took 30 MB of RAM, which was by far the largest consumer of resources. I think I'll consider Java more seriously when they get it faster and more compact. I've been working Perl a lot lately and I've got to say that I'm spoiled by not having to declare anything except for #!/usr/bin/perl. But the pattern matching works like magic and I think it really is a practical language for extraction and reports.
