Btw, just to chime in - it's a helluva lot easier to train someone to follow best practices and write higher quality code in mini lang than it is to do the same in Java. I'm a Java programmer first and foremost, but I love the fact that OFBiz provides minilang as an option - it increases efficiency - and isn't that the point of this business system we all know and love?
I'd say that for those of you who don't "like" minilang - I'd spend some more time getting to know minilang - it's here to stay and has it's place just like every other language we use in the system.
