What makes Java a "crappy" language?

I think PHP's success is due to its ability to integrate HTML 
statements. Also, it was often the only option back in the day 
from cheap web hosting services. And it seemed like on those 
cheap web hosts, when offered, Python and Perl were accessed via 
CGI, while PHP used via an Apache module which I think gave it a 
speed/resource utilization advantage.
