That's because of The Pyramids [1]

DSSL. XSLT. Right.

[1] The original quote (by Alan Perlis) goes about Pascal, but I think
we can confidently substitute Java as a worthi (if uglier) successor:

  "[Scheme and Pascal] It would be difficult to find two languages
   that are the communicating coin of two more different cultures
   than those gathered around these two languages. Pascal is for
   building pyramids -- imposing, breathtaking, static structures
   built by armies pushing heavy blocks into place. Lisp is for
   building organisms [...]"

You need a lot of slaves to build pyramids (yeah, I know: strictly
speaking, the pyramid builders weren't slaves, but hey).
