More damned facts to correct big egos with big mouths...

Anyone who trust their coins to (very) high level languages like Java (and and its hopeless VM model) deserves to lose all their money.

Anyone who trusts your FUD deserves to lose all their money when you conflate the secure JVM with the flaky Java libraries and flaky Java security model especially the grotesque web browser sand box model:

One doesn't have to use the flaky aspects of Java when using the JVM. For example, the BitcoinJ Android bug was due to an error in the random number generator Android Java library. It had nothing to do with the JVM (virtual machine).

This sort of error proves that at best you are a very junior level programmer, or probably not even a programmer.

Also, you apparently don't understand programming enough to understand that many errors originate from the lack of semantic clarity and high level semantic invariants static type checking that isn't done in low level languages such as assembly, C, and C++. And C++ is one of the most complex, grotesque languages ever with perhaps only Perl and Brainfuck making it look good. And take this from someone who wrote a million user application in C++ and another one in C. I estimate you don't even know what sort of improvements in correctness pure functional programming can provide.

Get off my lawn kid!

Yeah this annoys me greatly!

People regularly confuse Java with JavaShit, and claim the security of Java is rubbish because JavaShits is.  In fact the 2 are VERY different languages, and the only common ground between them is some syntax similarities (but then Java and C++ share a lot of that), and the damn name.

Any and all languages are insecure if the skills of the developer are not up to par.

In fact a very large portion of the worlds banking applications are written in Java, on the front and back end....so go figure.
