You're probably thinking of security issues with the browser plugin? They're... unfortunate, but don't affect the language as it's actually used. Don't write java applets, and as a user, don't install the browser plugin.

Indeed. Java in a sandbox in the browser is pretty much a failure. But there is no Go browser sandbox at all, so I'd hardly say Go is better off here. I guess you look better when you don't make the attempt at all.
