Here's a challenge. Specify your "nice" Java, and I'll do one of the
following:
1. Prove that "Nice" Java is Turing complete, if we ignore the
finiteness of memory and disk space.
2. Identify a java.util class that is currently implemented in Java
without depending on native code and that I claim cannot be written in
"nice" Java.

....Unless we can prove, that "nice" Java is also Turing complete, it *is*
a justification, because using spaghetti code *may* be inevitable.
