1) Both are ok imho, I just thought there was a period in 00s when Java was popular for various apps, even for some YouTube downloader you needed it to be installed, and now I didn't see requirements like that for ages. YaCy started in 2003, and I think the language could be one of the reasons the interest in this project waned. 2) I didn't look into Common Crawl closely, but I think they maybe have smaller sample datasets for testing or home projects? It just makes sense to use freely available crawling data which already exists and not wait for people to join your project. P.S. Previous YaCy discussions on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=yacy.net https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=yacy.net , there are some feature requests in comments probably.
