I think you miss the point. Before you go back and re-read the article put aside your obvious bias. The problem he was mentioning was that Java is not the right language for every situation. He was stating that you need to understand what you need to perform the job and use the right system. In cases of web-side solutions he is saying perhaps Java is over-kill.
I've written software in C that has been ported with little effort from one hardware platform to another with less effort than I have seen of many Java applications. I might suggest C is the language of choice for programmers.
Get what? That the first meeting of the P2P wg was more like a show of "power" by a few corporations that want to take control and direct the P2P community? That there was a pretty universal agreement that we wanted an open meeting and working group? What didn't you get?
I think the P2P community is pretty much behind the IETF (or IETF-like) approach to this work. It is great to see a group of "Geeks" stand up to the corporations trying to take over everything involving the Internet.
