I think you really want to say not "at worst" but "in most cases", and
that's a very important difference.

I don't know what you mean by "persistent application" in this
context, or why you think that mention of C is anything other than an
Apples-to-Oranges kind of comparison.
Supposing that you might mean something like:
"The dollar cost of bugs in programs written in C dwarfs the
dollar cost of bugs relating to this weakness in Java's
exception mechanisms."
my reply is: Java is relatively young. Give it time to mature.
