Given what I've seen lately, this is just false. The Java team under Oracle, despite my trollish expectations, is actually doing really well.
That they've inherited a huge, complex codebase is unfortunate.
I think any program or VM, Ruby, Flash, Python, whatever would end up with the same number of security holes if it had the user base to attract attention from hackers.

But, it bears mentioning that Ruby and Python aren't a mainstream part of browsers. And Flash (under Adobe) has actually done some pretty impressive stuff recently with regard to sandboxing.
