Abstract

It isn’t often that a technology sweeps the world and ends up being a relevant piece of the technological universe for over 20 years. The Java programming language was originally developed in 1995 by Sun Microsystems, and it has grown into a massive ecosystem over the years. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a virtual computer that is defined by a specification, and the Java programming language can be used to program applications that run on the JVM. A JVM can be installed on just about any computer or hardware device that is available on the market. As such, the JVM is installed on millions of devices worldwide, and there have been dozens of different programming languages built on top of the JVM that compile down to Java byte code, allowing developers to utilize different language syntax to run on the JVM. What does this mean? Well, frankly it means that the JVM and Java are everywhere, and one can use a multitude of languages to program applications that will run just about anywhere. Java is an ecosystem that started in 1995, and it will be around long into the future.
