why has it become so popular in the recent years? do you think that java will have the staying power of COBOL even though COBOl has been around since the 1950's?
What are the major differences between java programming language and other programming languages?
For me - the biggest advantage of java is portability. You can write an app (or applet or servlet or......) to run on all sorts of devices. You can develop your app on a desktop machine and do much of your testing before deploying to the target machine. We used to have to use cross-compilers and emulators etc. but no need with java.
People will often say that java isn't as efficient or speedy as programs compiled natively but these days, once you have your program debugged for whatever your deployment platform is, you can compile to native binary if you wish. So that argument no longer holds water either.
Reply:Java is a "compilation" of all the best features of 30+ programming language including COBOL.
