This isn't a practice that's limited to Java programmers. I've seen it done in Smalltalk and other languages, too. I would suggest that it's more indicative of a programmer that's never worked with a really large data set, or had to deal with a database that lives at the other end of a slow data connection. Almost inevitably, it's a programmer that's never worked outside of the PC environment, because programmers with a main or mid-frame environment have had that nonsense pounded out of them early in their careers!
