Hi Kenneth,

now, after your mail, I realize that Java is also a swamp, too:

===== %< =====
import javax.script.ScriptEngine;
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager;
import javax.script.ScriptException;

public class HelloWorld {
  public void main(String[] args) {
    ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
    ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
    engine.put("world", "world");
    String result;
    try {
      result = (String)engine.eval("'Hello ' + world + '!'");
    } catch (ScriptException e) {
      return;
    }
    System.out.println(result);
  }
}
===== %< =====

Take a look at the most obvious problems in the above:

===== %< =====
    ScriptEngineManager manager = new ScriptEngineManager();
    ScriptEngine engine = manager.getEngineByName("JavaScript");
    engine.put("world", "world");
    String result;
    try {
      result = (String)engine.eval("'Hello ' + world + '!'");
    } catch (ScriptException e) {
      return;
    }
===== %< =====

I am very new to Java, but it strikes me that what the above is saying is 
(in shell script):

echo "Hello world!"

I am just so sick of using crappy "solutions" (read: Java) layered over top
of what could be good solutions.

Sorry, I had to vent.
