'''Java''' is an [[object-oriented]] [[programming language]] developed by [[Sun Microsystems]] in the 1990's. Its syntax is similar to that of C++, but with some modifications. One of the major features which make Java programs easier to write than C++ programs is its support for automatic [[memory management]].

* Java managed to cover two problems plaguing the C/C++ world: [[complexity]] (C++) and [[memory management]] (C/C++). These two were real problems because projects plagued with bugs created by complexity and with memory leaks. [http://littletutorials.com/2008/05/28/13-reasons-java-die-old-age/]
The Java [[compiler]] provided by Sun Microsystems compiles Java code to bytecode, which requires the Java Virtual Machine (commonly referred to as a JVM) to execute. This model was adopted by Microsoft for [[C Sharp | C#]] and other [[.NET]] languages. [[IBM]] and others supply regular Java compilers for those who don't want to use the [[virtual machine]].
