'''Java''' is a general-purpose [[Programming language|computer programming language]] that is concurrent, class-based, [[Object-oriented programming|object-oriented]], and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

== Description ==

Java is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation.

Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.

Do not confuse not confuse Java with [[JavaScript]].
