Talk:What is Java

Java is one of programming LANGUAGES, object oriented (like C++,Perl,Javascript,Python etc.).

Java was invented by SUN Microsystems and JDK relased by SUN brings good quality "compiler" and JVM (you can consider JVM as a virtual computer - if you call javac program "compiler").

Interesting thing about Java code is that it is interpreted language for real (at least i havent heard about proper java language straight compilers (maybe because there is no sense acctually to make one, whats for?) ). "Compiler" doesnt produce a real executables, but BYTECODE, that bytecode is the exact INTERPRETED code by JVM, you can compare it to PERL or ECMA Script (Javascript) the difference makes CLASS LOADER, thats the moment when small makes big difference.
