Well, I definitely agree with you there. However, this mixing can be 
handled in a sane manner in competent JSP development. At least in 
theory. And although there is adequate reason to take issue with the 
blending of presentation and logic at all, this is a viable technology 
actually in enterprise use at this time.

Although I haven't really put this to the test, I'm told by an 
enterprise Java programmer I know that he takes full advantage of 
certain ways to get closer to the hardware in Java (not to the extent 
possible with C/C++, of course).

When it all comes out in the wash, I think everybody knows I'm in the 
Python camp. heh
