What does this bring to the discussion, other than your apparent delight in anti-Welsh bigotry?

The anaemic way would turn that 10,000 line file into something closer to 10,000 one-line files. To me, that is the very definition of spaghetti code.

My biggest problem with the enterprise Java way of doing things is the fact that you have to open 18 files just to figure out how the hell one small bit of functionality works.

It's all very pretty, but having looked at the source code for the page it's not really very semantic. If you're creating buttons and using DIVs and not one BUTTON, you've completely missed the point of semantic HTML. Menus are lists of links - why DIV > DIV > A instead of UL > LI > A?

One of the benefits of learning to program J for me has been to make it easy to remember hard to crack passwords. I have some passwords which are actually runnable J on-liner programs and contain all kind of '#!$' symbols. All I need to do is remember what they do so that I can recreate them.

That's a bit like complaining that a joke isn't funny because you didn't bother to read/listen all the way to the punchline.

Life isn't a race.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make prisons mobile signal dead-zones?
