I suggest you have a read around the subject - portability, efficient implementation of OO and ability to implement modern technology

I have read a bit about the evolution of java.
The main impetus for developing java came from consumer electronic goods like microwave Owen and washing machine etc.
But now as the internet has evolved it is basically used because of its platform independence properties.

Yer - funny isn't it how they never (really) thought of its now main use during initial language design.

There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language:

   1. It should be "simple, object oriented, and familiar".
   2. It should be "robust and secure".
   3. It should be "architecture neutral and portable".
   4. It should execute with "high performance".
   5. It should be "interpreted, threaded, and dynamic".

   5. It should be "interpreted, threaded, and dynamic".

I can see how the first 4 are good goals but 5 makes no sense what so ever. What do you mean by this? Supporting threading maybe (and many languages do this), interpreted why [and Java is arguably not interpreted] and what exactly do you mean by dynamic?

As I am totally unaware of Java Technology, It's good to know them through this thread.
