    Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, I know! I'll use Java! Now they have a ProblemFactory. Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, I know! I'll use Groovy! Now they have a ProblemBuilder. Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, I know! I'll use Python! Now they have a problem generator. Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, I know! I'll use Clojure! Now they have a sequence of problems. Some people, when confronted with a problem, think, I know! I'll use Threads! Noth wheyh ave two prob
