There's the fact that you never know what might come of a security flaw in java though... That's something to consider. However, a reputable programmer won't just simply make an error that could lead to a real security flaw.

No matter what, Java would be client side, and the only exploits available would be IRC related, which would be dependent on the version of the server running the IRC channel, which if not older than dirt, shouldn't have any real security issues.

Reputable programmers leave security flaws all the time too.
