Clicking on its details sheet shows that this can impossibly be true: it's worse than most languages on nearly every measure! I wonder how much Sun has paid the author ;) Well, it's probably just that the benchmark hasn't yet been correctly ported. For example, a couple of OCaml-entries are compiled wrongly and therefore don't work. I hope things get fixed soon before some people mistakenly believe that Java is the language of choice for discriminating hackers...
