In the post it is specifically stated that Java was ruled out a priori because deploying the JVM and associated libraries is unqualified “operational complexity” that they don’t desire. They have not said why that is undesirable in a use-case specific way, only that they view it as generically undesirable. Similarly they brush past usage of C or C++ because of “unsafety” without explaining why you could not achieve a parsimonious, safe solution in either of those languages. Here is the quote again where all three languages are disingenuously dismissed in a manner that is clearly meant to be pejorative, > “Java was excluded from consideration because of the requirement of deploying the JVM and associated libraries along with any program to their production servers. This was an amount of operational complexity and resource overhead that was as undesirable as the unsafety of C or C++.” Upon re-reading the article, I stand firm that my analysis is fair, that I’m not reading anything into it, and that the article needlessly tosses in malignant comments about these other languages, and that this is a clear indicator of insecurity.
