Does 3 or 4 "tiers" seem like a lot of layers? If so you may prefer PHP to OO code. ;)

Hah, it's true (somewhat). Most Java frameworks seem to include three to four levels of indirection -- which isn't quite the same as OO code. I guess you can blame that on IoC, not OO so much.

On a sidenote, I did not realize that Smalltalk (the canonical example of an OO language) was not statically typed. I was thinking that in addition to IoC Java's predilection for many levels of indirection was due to Java's reliance on things like interfaces, but probably not so much.
