Sure something more compact may gain in reading sometimes but everything I have seen thus

Hi.
Do you have a alternative for a big-and-long-running-project?
If you have doubts, see e.g. this:
http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/
this is particulary about php, but it shows many aspects of a good
programming language and I'm sure it will be hard to find better
alternative then Java right now.
