You missed my point, which was that well-used languages and platforms have vulnerabilities and we still use them. And Java web apps have had security issues too. Do you remember this one? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-...

I am not sure I missed your point. I was simply pointing out that people looking for Java developers has nothing to do with the fact that Java's applet stuff is completely vulnerable.

Yes, other vulnerabilities exist, and they too had to be patched, I don't think dropping an entire language if a flaw is found is a good idea, we wouldn't be left with any, however Ruby on Rails is a framework built on top of Ruby, that is what contains the issues, not Ruby.
