    I feel like “written in a memory-safe language” is a fair selling point, especially when we are talking about a tool designed to accept completely untrusted data from the network and keep you safe from attackers with significant resources.

        People have done a lot of things, the track record so far has shown that to be a terrible idea.

    If you really dislike Java that much, there are other I2P implementations like this: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd

    On the same site: > Benefits of Tor over I2P > ... > - C, not Java (ewww) It's a joke.

    It's joke that every one will hate one or the other. They make the same joke the other direction.
