Java is portable in compiled form. C is not. Java has a sandbox so the
code can't hose your machine. C does not.
Don't get me wrong, C is a fine language - I used it for years and
wrote a lot of the ANSI-validated reference implementation of it back
in the 80's - but Java is a much safer, more portable language that
is, frankly, much easier to program in.
