That's a bit of a stretch. Surely, you can build low-latency apps, but I'd be very careful with the "with ease" bit. Low-latency Java often means zero heap allocations, aggressive object avoidance / reuse, heavy use of primitive types everywhere, so it is very much low-level like C, only with no tools that even plain old C offers, e.g. no true stack-allocated structs and no pointers. And forget about all the high-level zero-cost abstractions that C++ and Rust offer.
