twelveDays<Christmas>

[techgnome]

I know it's a bit late, but just has someone send this to me...

function twelveDays<Christmas>() {
  // Twelve SQL queries,
  // Eleven XML parses,
  // Ten external programs,
  // Nine RMI calls,
  // Eight LDAP queries,
  // Seven serializations,
  // Six caught exceptions,
  // Five di-a-logs!
  // Four URLs,
  // Three GC's,
  // Two JAR downloads, and
  return pearTree.add("Partridge"); 
}

Here's the VB version:

function twelveDays(Of Christmas)() as String
  ' Twelve SQL queries,
  ' Eleven XML parses,
  ' Ten external programs,
  ' Nine RMI calls,
  ' Eight LDAP queries,
  ' Seven serializations,
  ' Six caught exceptions,
  ' Five di-a-logs!
  ' Four URLs,
  ' Three GC's,
  ' Two JAR downloads, and
  return pearTree.add("Partridge")
End Function
