Java programming language is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a a portable general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once and run anywhere
Java applications are typically compiled to byte-code that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying computer architecture.
The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such as reflection and runtime code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages. As of 2019, Java was one of the most popular programming languages in use according to GitHub.
Java deployments provide Just-In-Time (JIT[1]) compiling where the byte code is compiled to native-code chunks that can greatly optimise the performance of Java by orders of magnitude.
