Java

[ LiB ]

Originally developed by Sun Microsystems for set-top boxes and handheld devices in an incarnation known as Oak, Java moved to the World Wide Web in 1995 and took off because it was multi-platform. Java is similar to C++ but was designed with OOP and security in mind from the ground up, and efforts were made in its structure to remove features that caused common errors and bugs (like pointers and garbage collection).
