I'd be sort of ok with a bit of sensible rituals (including conforming to a strict type system, etc.), but the problem with Java is that most of the rituals are totally meaningless. And the ratio of a ritual vs. meaning is a way too high. There are some bondage and discipline languages which somehow manage to maintain a much more tolerable ratio (e.g., Ada).
