Why Java

Java, for the past thirty years, has been a mainstay in the software development world. Ever since it was first founded in the mid-1990s by Sun Microsystems, this flexible programming language has undergone significant evolution and has successfully adjusted to the evolving needs of developers and the businesses that use it. Its popularity is further evidenced by its widespread usage: Java has been mentioned over 1.9 million times on Stack Overflow, consistently ranks among the top languages in GitHub repositories, and frequently holds a top spot on the Tiobe Index for programming languages worldwide.

Initially designed for home devices, not just limited to interactive television—an idea ahead of its time that didn’t fully take off, Java became popular in the tech space through the implementation of its "Write Once, Run Anywhere" model. Year after year, Java has steadily earned a reputation for its reliability, security, and superior performance, making it the preferred choice for many applications, from large enterprise systems to mobile apps.
