I mourn the golden years of Java, when it was nice and simple, the weapon of a Java Knight, not as clumsy or as random as VB, an elegant language for a more civilized age... for over a thousand successful projects the Java Knights were the guardians of readability and sanity in the old code repository... before the dark times... before the complexifiers took over.
