The Java programming language was originally created in 1995 by James Gosling from Sun Microsystems (currently a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation). The goal was to provide a simpler and platform-independent alternative to C++.

Today Java is one of the most popular programming languages for everything from programming games to creating mission-critical applications such as those for trading on Wall Street or controlling

Mars rovers.Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is, as of 2014, one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.
