Study Notes
Java Programming Language
- Designed to have minimal implementation dependencies
- High-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language
- General-purpose language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (WORA)
- Compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without recompilation
Key Features
- Compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM)
- JVM allows Java code to run on any underlying computer architecture
- Syntax similar to C and C++, but with fewer low-level facilities
- Dynamic capabilities: reflection and runtime code modification
Popularity
- Gained popularity shortly after its release
- Remains a very popular programming language
- Ranked third most popular programming language in 2022 according to GitHub
- Ranked fourth on TIOBE
