A long time ago, programmers wrote programs directly in binary code. With the advent of the first programming language, Assembler, the work of programmers greatly simplified. More and more programming languages began to appear. In 1972, Dennis Ritchie of AT&T Bell Laboratories developed the procedural language C, which immediately became very popular, since it was used to create complex programs. Between 1979 and 1980. Bjorn Straustrup, working for the same company, created the C with Classes language.
This language had some disadvantages, so, in 1983, the same Stroustrup developed C++, which became popular in the 1990s. In 1991, Sun Microsystems, under the leadership of James Gosling, Patrick Knowton, Chris Wart, Edd Frank, and Michael Sheridan, began developing the Oak (Oak) language. At the end of 1992, the first version of this language appeared. Since the spring of 1995, this language became known as Java.
Java is an island in the Indonesian archipelago, as well as the type of coffee that, according to legend, the creators of Java drank.
