Is java dead for startups?

It seems that RoR, PHP & scala are the "hot" languages for startups. I know that java is old, but it lends itself to better engineering IMO. Especially in NYC, where there is a robust market for high- paying java jobs at investment banks, it is hard to find lean startupers.

Are there theoretical or practical reasons to avoid java in lean startups? Any ideas where to find folks at the intersection of java + lean startups + NYC or is it hopeless?

Many thanks!

Cheers, Mike
