Maybe it's because they associate the word with doing things fast (and not necessarily 'cleverly'). For Perl this is a matter of course, but which for some other languages (maybe Java, I wouldn't know), it tends to indicate sloppy coding? I still think there are social issues that might be playing a role. Or maybe they just don't understand what you're doing and cover up by disapproving. Of course all of this is pure conjecture. Best of luck to you!
