Character Sketches
R
Built by statisticians, for statisticians. The pipe operator, vectorized operations, and ggplot2's grammar of graphics are genuinely beautiful within R's domain. Step outside statistics and the quirks multiply.
Java
The enterprise middle manager who requires a meeting to schedule a meeting. Java turned verbosity into a virtue and AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBean into a punchline.
