haha yeah, my comment was mostly a throwback to the genre of articles we saw in the late aughts where people were discovering dynamic programming environments, and would say the line about Ruby/Java but not mention all the cases the Java case was handling that their Ruby `File.read` example didn't. I put it in quotes not to make that exact point, but more to reference how I've seen the conversation go.

Generally I'm extremely positive on Java :-p
