Java and Groovy can do it. Why not C# and PowerShell.
David Bergman presented Groovy: Java++ by being Java– at Lab49 which inspired me to record this 7min video doing the same with C# and PowerShell.
Best viewed in IE.

Url for the video is broken - has an extra period before “html”.

Even more PowerShelly:
“The total length of the names of the higher spirits is {0}” -f (”Luke”,”Daniel”,”David”,”Jesus” | Measure-Object Length -sum).sum

To make it fair to C# we gotta optimize it a bit as well:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Out.WriteLine(”Total count: {0}”, args.Aggregate(0, (total, arg) => total + arg.Length));
}
