I am sure he wouldn't have a hard time on OS/400. I think he shows a bit
of exaggeration in this article, as he is too smart to believe that the
world is all object-oriented, but this is writer's right to grab readers
attention.

This "all-java-kids" was a remark to his statement from some earlier
article (mentioned also in this one), where he writes on people being
taught only java on programming courses.
