Java

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

Principles

There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language:

It must be simple, object-oriented, and familiar.

It must be robust and secure.

It must be architecture-neutral and portable.

It must execute with high performance.

It must be interpreted, threaded, and dynamic.
