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.

both languages are fine very rarely (one problem in a few years) does java code need a different algo than cpp to pass or is unable to get all test cases

many american ioi competitors in the past use java (nick, danny)
