Is java the best language for 2d games?

[Alex_Sanders]

Dunno if anyone have played a massive successful game called "Altitude", it's a multiplayer game, I have no idea what language it is coded, but I want to know is it possible to code a cheap mock up of the game with Java? And distribute it on Android?

It was made in Java using lwjgl (lightweight java game library).
