| ferret | /las Cat.java |
| rindolf | ferret: an implementation of the UNIX "cat" program in Java?? |

| rindolf | ferret: oh. |
| rindolf | ferret: how many lines did it take? |
| * f00li5h | heads off to #codegolf and tries to convince them to allow java submissions |

| rindolf | ferret: I once implemented a parser for a subset of the Bourne Shell args, in really hideous ANSI C. |
| rindolf | f00li5h: good luck. |
| rindolf | f00li5h: Java Golf... |
| f00li5h | yeah, for sure! |
| rindolf | Java Golf would be longer than a non-Golfed Perl program. |

| rindolf | f00li5h: COBOL Golf! |
