That 0.5 million line java game of his must be really something. I saw some screenshots and it reminded me of things I played on Windows 3.1. Dollars to donuts he's going some wtf-worthy stuff in there.
ED: Oh, yeah, reading through the article, I see it must be true. His "print the squares" example is pretty bad. If I did it (using some home[green]spun libraries) it would look like this, more or less:
List squares=Util.makeList(Util.makeList(1,2,3,4,5),Util.class,"square");
System.out.println(squares);
(Reflection is being performed, with "square" being a static method from Util.class) Really, I would need a Util.makeRange(1,5) function to get closer to perl.
