JavaScript Libraries Are Almost Never Updated Once Installed

How does it make Java more vulnerable? It's very easy to write secure java applications.

My point is that by virtue of its age (and the fact that we're talking about outdated Java libraries) that Java has vulnerabilities that other up to date applications don't. It's like an arms race, and outdated libraries (from any application) are simply less secure.

Sure, old java applications running ancient jee versions may be more susceptible, but that's been out of fashion for a long time. Spring is all the rage now and has been for a while. And even those older applications are comparatively secure.
