Isn't that what Java is for? But seriously, I would rather have the opportunity to do it right, even with the concomitant risk of being responsible for having done it wrong, than to find myself in a field where what matters is not whether my work is right or wrong, but only that it's done according to the rules.

If you're a web developer, and if "THIS IS THE WAY IT'S DONE BRUH!" is what you're looking for, you should really try Ruby on Rails, because that's their entire philosophy, and they're really very good at it -- so good, indeed, that in every major version they do it all over again.
