" Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. " -- Thoreau

This is pretty much why I find Java (and others at similar levels of complexity) distasteful and try to steer clear of anything related to it. It is also why Go appears to me as attractive: it has simplicity everywhere.
