The Bureaucracy — Java

Six words of ceremony before the program is allowed to speak. The verbosity is not accidental — it is the visible signature of an object-oriented enterprise architecture being asserted at the language level, where even the smallest program must declare a class, a visibility, a static binding, and a typed argument vector. Released alongside the JDK 1.0 in January 1996, this incantation taught a generation of developers that ritual and rigor were the same thing.
