I quite assure you Java was loathed by basically everybody that had to maintain computers, give or take those making good money from virus cleanups, long before minecraft. Hate does not have to be unjustified.
Those aren't reasons not to use Java as a learning language. You (and many other people in this thread) keep seeming to think the title is "What would be a good programming language to use if you want to immediately distribute programs?" It's about learning, and Java is good for learning. I'm going to make the next part big so plenty of people will see it.
It doesn't matter if your Hello World app has security flaws.
