One thing worth noting is that Java is much less common on Linux than
either Python or Ruby, as the licensing made it hard to ship the Sun
implementation. Whereas there are very good implementations of both
Python and Ruby for Windows.

I don't understand this point.

Java is freely available on linux for download although it isn't
included on distros. Python and Ruby are freely available on Windows
although they aren't included in the installation by default (i.e. are
not shipped by Microsoft). Is this not the same situation?

I don't really have an opinion on which language the controller should
be written in.
