In the blue corner: People want to to see "true" OOP.
Personally, as an example of java code, I think its better to do something like this than to just have the simple for loop. It turns the site from something stupid about beer to a demonstration of what each language can do (assuming each program is written in the "correct" way for that language).
When I read that the first time, I assumed the comments defending the Java version were trolling. Exactly the kind of sarcastic humour you may find here. Now you've introduced the possibility that they're actually serious, and a little piece of me is dying inside...
I have also contributed my Progress/OpenEdge version of a 99-bottles program. I was really surprised to be the first one to submit on in Progress, while there was already a malbolge version O_o.
I love browsing through that site, just finding new (mostly esotheric) programming languages that I have never heard of before. It made me program a 'fizzbuzz' program in BeFunge. Not the most usefull thing, but actually very fun to do :)
