She (and Ruby) do remarkably well. Kind of a neat idea.
I’ve said for years that (in the Java world) at a certain layer of
your application’s design, an interesting test of its
readability/maintainability is whether or not your (not-a-programmer)

projects I’ve worked on would stand up to such a
test—especially the Java ones.
