About Java
Java was created in 1995 by James Gosling and his team at Sun Microsystems. It was developed to provide a platform-independent language that could be used across various devices, initially targeting interactive television. The language quickly gained popularity for its portability and robustness, leading to widespread adoption in web development, enterprise applications, and mobile devices.
Strengths of Java include platform independence, strong memory management, and extensive libraries. Weaknesses involve slower performance compared to natively compiled languages and higher memory consumption. Competitors include C#, Python, and JavaScript.
