It can be hard to objectively rank programming systems, so here's one way to look at it: in this thread so far the average team winning percentage from a comment that's neutral is 50.7%. The average for a comment that's pro-LabVIEW is 49.9%. The average for a comment that's pro-Java is 60.5%.
From this we can conclude that winning causes a more favorable view of Java.
QED.
