I think that article is bunk.

Large Java programs (as related to me by corporate Java programmers) tend to be 
excessively complex because the language is too simple.

Too often people think that with a simple language, the programs created with it 
must be simple. This is dead wrong. Simple languages lead to complex, 
incomprehensible programs.
