You're probably the first person I know to claim that. Personally most 
projects I have in Java would've been done much quicker in Tcl. Protocols, 
parameter mappings. Well, most stuff. Tcl is one of the cleanest languages 
out there (along with Lisp-variants), so I don't see how one can claim it 
to be a mess?
