Hi Everyone
I am considering learning Java. There have been well publicized Java security incidents recently that make me not want to learn it.
However it's in Centos and I trust Centos, are the concerns in the media blown out of proportion ?
The security issues mostly related to running programs with the browser plugings and they seem to be mostly fixed. As far as using it as a server-side or standalone programming language goes it is as good as anything else.
