After reading the Disclosure in the second paragraph (the motivation for the post), you can skip down to the Comparison and Prologue where you get to the real heart of the post, that in the author's opinion a Federal contractor is using Java for the purpose of extracting funds from the government.

And yes, a Perl team would be much smaller.

It's perl versus java. Larry versus Larry?

I learned perl somewhere around perl3.

Things I noticed.

Java never had a "perl6" moment,in which /usr/bin/perl was replaced with radicchio or whatever.

Perl doesn't have a groovy that I know of.

Now, I'm retired and don't program. What do I miss the most? Hypercard. I had GUI apps with a persistent database running faster than Claude can say "Feed Me."

Probably in a year or three, will Rust back the syntax of interpreted languages?
