The article was claiming that C++ failed in the 90s with the large migration from C++ to Java; it 'failed' at being the general-purpose industry language of choice. This is a reasonable statement.
And Java is often 1-2 orders of magnitude less efficient at memory usage than C++, so while 'several' is perhaps hyperbolic the general point still stands (execution speed wasn't being discussed).

Java is not the only runtime with automatic dynamic memory management. I could run comparisons against "tcc" and conclude that java is an order of magnitude faster than C.
