Ever heard of not requiring a bring-your-quadcore-to-its-knees IDE?

This is a totally false comparison :) Java's storage of its interface in its object files has nothing to do with its IDE's performance.

What I'm saying is, it's completely possible to store the API in binary format *in* the object files, and use documentation generators to document the API. You do not have to read the interface files to understand the API, and Java is a good example of a language that successfully does that.
