As of today, Java is the most famous and popular of all programming languages. It began to exist in 1996, initially developed by Sun Microsystems and over time it was absorbed by the corporation Oracle. Developers planned to make Java a universal language applicable for almost all tasks and they succeeded.
Java was greatly expanded and improved over the past 23 years. The current version is Java 11, released last September. During this time, Java has become more than a general-purpose language. It can be called a full-fledged platform that has its own ecosystem. Today, the language can really be used for everything from creating small programs to Internet portals of colossal size. It is often used to develop software for all known computers, smartphones and smart appliances. Most of all Android applications are written in Java.
