in thread passing data structures from java to perl

Just an OT question ... do all these writers in writers in writers look as crazy to you as they do to me? I mean I have no experience with Java (nor do I want any), but it seems IO in Java is just as overcomplicated as in C#/.Net. There probably is a reason that I, being OO unclean, do not see, but still. Looks like someone went heavily overboard when designing the libraries.

    Nope, they're building blocks you can use to create any kind of api you can imagine, even perl style layers ":raw:crlf:utf-8"

      OK, building blocks. I buy that. But why the hell are we supposed to use building blocks instead of a sane API?

      Sorry for going further OT. Though ... this is not really a Java or C# specific question. It's the question of library interfaces and now with Perl6 object system I am afraid we run the risk of going too puristicaly object oriented. Probably not with file system IO, but with other libraries. Building blocks (= implementation detail) leaking to the interface.
