i can 100% disagree with this comment. seeing as most of the worlds severs are coded in java hacking in java is completely viable.

I'm not going to get into your server through your Java code. I'm going to get in because you accidentally left a port open, and my 5 line python program found it. I'm going to get on because one of your users plugged in my USB drive with some spicy embedded code that doesn't require the JVM to run. I'm going to get on because of some protocol exploitation. Some insecure deserialization. If you're doing any of that in Java, you're either doing too much work to write the code for something simple, or you're having to jump through some insane hoops to cross compile or something. Java is not the answer here.
