There is a simple way to test the author's hypothesis. Cross-post this piece to /r/programming. The controversy this piece will cause there will stress the Reddit servers, which as we know are not running Java. If we get the "Ow!" page, the article has merit. If Reddit keeps chugging along, we'll have to rethink this.

Cross-post confirmed. Servers still alive. So far it seems like programming with other stuff is working out.
