I found this quote from Nat Torkington riffing on metaprogramming in Ruby and Java quite funny...

Javassist is, frankly, terrifyingly powerful. I don't know what to be more amazed by: that Javassist exists at all, or that it's a subproject of the relentlessly Enterprisey (and therefore sober and reliable and not at all meant to be terrifying) JBoss. That's like the Betty Ford Clinic funding research into more efficient methods of producing crystal meth.
