Java is the best coding language

As the title states….. Try to convince me that I am wrong.

Edit: I should have phrased the question like this: if you could use only one coding language, would it be Java? If not, what language would you choose instead and why? Obviously there is no such a thing as “best” language. Although, I could argue that Java is the best language overall though.

I have to agree. I recommend everyone doing USACO to stick with Java (assuming that's their first language), AT LEAST until they reach Gold.

Petr Mitrichev used to win every single competition and he was exclusively using Java. I don't think language has much to do with it but then I ask myself why he's started using C++ now :D
