Why is Java so furious?

Why is Java so furious?
From: China Computer Education News Lu Ning December 19, 2002
No one can deny that Java has become so popular. Today, people in the computer industry may ask, "Do you know Java ?", "Have you used Java ?". Java is also popular on university campuses. Those who concentrate on learning a computer language have threw away their VB and C ++ and started to study Java. Java has swept the world in just a few years (and the familiar C language has struggled for more than a decade), and it is indeed mysterious. Where did Java come from? Why is it so violent?
Inspiration for coffee
In 1991, SUN's Jame Gosling and others developed a language named Oak (an Oak name) for interactive operations on household electronic products, such as televisions and coffee boxes, however, for commercial reasons, this language has never been put into the market. Even the Oak name becomes a problem because there are already hundreds of companies using this name, so SUN cannot register it as a trademark at all. Eventually, SUN decided to change the language to Java and publish it on the Internet for free. At that time, due to the failure of Oak, some rumors advocated that the Java letters represent "Just Another meaningless Acronym" (Just Another Valueless Acronym ), however, SUN denies this statement. Java is a spark of instant inspiration when a language developer drinks a coffee originating in the Java islands of Indonesia.
A few months later, to everyone's surprise, Java became the hottest topic in cyberspace. Java has been used by more and more users and has been paid more and more attention. Hundreds of small Java applications are popular in multimedia applications on the Internet. Some famous companies, such as Microsoft, IBM, Apple Computer, and digital equipment companies, have bought the right to use the Java language, followed by a large number of software products written in Java, it is highly valued and praised by the industry. Microsoft president Bill? After quietly observing for a while, Gates said with no emotion: "Java is the most outstanding programming language for a long time ".
A clear stream
Why is Java welcomed by so many programmers in a short period of time? In today's fierce competition in the computer industry, why is the language developed by a computer hardware company suddenly supported by almost all the major computer software and hardware companies in the world?
SUN describes its own Java language as follows: it is a simple, object-oriented, distributed, interpreted, stable, secure, structured neutral, portable, high-performance, multi-thread dynamic language. This long attribute accurately describes the basic features of the Java language and tells the secret of why Java is furious.
The most important feature of Java is its platform independence, which is not available in any language in the past. That is to say, a program written in Java can run on any computer, regardless of the operating system used by the computer. This is a dream of many programmers.
