Why I absolutely love java

  public class filter {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
      System.out.println("2, 4"); 
     }
   }

FTFY, While it may be fun that show off with your favorite language, the Java version is intentionally complex.

Edit: In case you missed the point. This version is as absurd trying to be short as the other version is absurd trying to be long. Also, I can guarantee that an "Enterprise" version would be 200 lines long :-P

The other examples filter from an existing list, essentially used as a placeholder. It could be substituted with any other list and the code sample would work. Your example use some hardcoded values - strings at that, not integers - hence not the same thing at all.

this misses the point, if you hard-code the result then still the other languages are more concise.
