| Java is a Object-Oriented language, continually developed by Sun. It is one of the biggest (in my opinion) object oriented languages, and is pretty powerful. Java is a big language that is commonly used in the modern world of programming, even though some do believe that is changing. | |

Yeah. Like me.  But yes, Java is indeed VERY commonly used in today's world, along with C/C++. It's big power advantage over many languages is it's huge API. And the fact that it's OO helps.  It is interesting to note however that Python is gaining a gargantuan amount of use and popularity of late. Of particular note is the fact that Google seems to have practically adopted it. | |
