Java (programming language)
Java
is a general-purpose
computer programming language
that is
concurrent
,
class-based
,
object-oriented
, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "
write once, run anywhere
" (WORA), meaning that
compiled
Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java applications are typically compiled to
bytecode
that can run on any
Java virtual machine
(JVM) regardless of
computer architecture
. As of 2015, Java is one of the most
popular programming languages in use
, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers. Java was originally developed by
James Gosling
at
Sun Microsystems
(which has since been
acquired by Oracle Corporation
) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems'
Java platform
. The language derives much of its
syntax
from
C
and
C++
, but it has fewer
low-level
facilities than either of them.
