I think of programming languages as tools, not philosophies. Java happens to be 
a favorite tool, one that fits my brain the way my favorite wood carving chisel 
fits my hand. On the other hand, I no more subscribe to "the Java way" than to 
a "the half inch chisel way".

When I'm starting a new program, in a situation in which I'm free to use any 
standards I like, I follow the commonest conventions for the program's 
language. If I'm modifying or adding to an existing project, or working in an 
organization that has other conventions, I follow the local conventions.
