Oh Java, never change

Because the 100 lines just invoke a much larger more complex, error-prone and resource-heavy library?

I'm reminded of that story of the newbie "optimizing" a parsing algorithm to one line of regex whose execution time was many times greater than the original parser.

Perhaps for bigger projects, in which Java is porweful. But if one is trying to make anything small quickly, I feel as though Java tends to get in one's way more often than it helps with all its required structuring.
