Also a security model that defaults to insecure, in the sense that the platform 
implementers have to get some pretty tricky code right every time to avoid 
leaving loopholes.  Which they haven't always done.

Not suggesting that the immediate competition is any better (though it may be 
for all I know), but in retrospect Java's security ambitions weren't backed by 
a sufficiently radical implementation/architecture.
