One *could* argue that Java is a bug, being a) so error-prone, b) so vulnerable to attack, and c) so huge and slow, and shouldn't be allowed....
But you'd be wrong on all counts. I'd argue the opposite - that you should only be allowed to use languages that work across CPU types and OS's so as to never be locked into a monopolistic single vendor.
So if I were to develop a CPU type and/or OS that didn't support Java then you would lock yourself out of the very language you appear to advocate?
