DRY is rather language-dependent. In Java, where only single result can be returned from a function, it is often not worth the efforts to factor out common functionality if that requires adding an extra class just to pas few in/out parameters.

In C++, on the other hand, the barrier to follow DRY is rather low as a I can literally move code to a helper function and easily parametrize it for reuse in another place.
