Java Reigns Supreme

Why is Java preferred as compared to other programming languages?

Java has been the brightest star in the horizon comprising of dozens of other programming languages.
According to TIOBE popularity ranking system, Java still reigns supreme with its unfading popularity. It is
not out of nothing that Java is still favoured over other programming languages. It is indeed the most
popular language in terms of learning & earning, job prospects, and career opportunities.

Employers First Choice:

Java is undoubtedly the first choice of the employers. Most of the Fortune 500 Companies hire Java
Developers to develop backend of their websites. As such, one will be surprised to know that many tech
giants such as Adobe, Teradata, Flipkart, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and IBM prefer Java
Developers and professionals for many of the good features of Java. Not limited to this, Android relies
heavily upon Java and you will be surprised to know that you are surrounded by Java developed gadgets
all over.

An Easy to Learn Object-Oriented Programming Language:

Owing to its Generics-Angle-Bracket-free approach, Java is adjudged as an easy-to-read-and-learn


programming language. Anyone having an in-depth knowledge of Object-Oriented Programming
concepts such as Abstraction, Encapsulation, Data Binding, Inheritance, and Polymorphism can write
effective codes in Java. Further, Java is usually tagged as the building block since its mastery paves way
for learning other languages and it definitely lays a strong foundation for an honorable and
highly-sought after career in the IT sector.

Platform-Independent Language with Compile Once, Run Forever Principle and JIT Compiler:

Java is platform-independent with a machine language called Bytecode. This language is understood by
Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and this makes possible to run Java programs on any hardware or software.
Further, the Compile Once, Run Forever principle of Java implies that after the bytecode is generated,
the program can be run in any operating system, hence the name Portable Code or P-code. Not limited
to this, the improved JVMs and JIT Compiler (Just-in-Time) make Java Programs run faster. The JIT
compiler stores the repeated code in cache memory, making execution of the code extremely fast.
Large Community and Open Source Libraries:

Java was created by James Gostling of Sun Microsystems in 1991. Java was originally called Oak - after
a tree outside Gostlings window. It was later that its name was changed to Java - the name that has
been ringing everywhere in the IT world since then. Having been present for more than two decades,
Java has a large community and huge open source libraries. A Java developer gets lots of help and
support from the Java Community, resulting in better support system in the form of useful tools,
case-studies, and other workable solutions. Larger the communities, greater are the chances of
meaningful development. Apache and Google are amongst many names that have contributed
immensely to the Java open source libraries, facilitating java development to a great extent.

Such features inevitably make Java the most popular language. Java has been leading since its inception
and it will continue to do so for many years to come. It is a never-fading star, shining bright and getting
brighter with every passing day. Therefore, there is a need to learn Java as soon as possible so that you
simply do not lag behind. Step ahead and march victorious with a strong foundation in Java - the 3rd
