That's ridiculous. Strong crypto is strong crypto no matter what implementation language you use. The same applies for good protocol design--the quality of the design matters far, far more than the language it is implemented in.

    Hi Group,
         I am trying to develop a p2p app. Can anyone point me some
    literature about security issues/concerns with p2p applications in
    particular and network programs in general. Any pointers would be
    greatly helpful (both introductory and advanced)

Any time spent reading about the fundamental algorithms, technologies and standards will be time well spent. It will be generally applicable no matter what type of application you are building or environment you are building it for.

Whenever I need a refresher on any topic I usually start here:

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/tutorial/index.html

or

http://ospkibook.sourceforge.net/docs/OSPKI-2.4.7/OSPKI-html/ospki-book.htm

and then branch off into google searches from there. Some of the specific topics are very dated e.g. "Skipjack" but the issues always remain relevant.

Mike
