3.3.4 Programming languages
There are many different computer languages used to write computer programs, for example C++ and Java. For example, the C language is a popular computer programming language. Entire operating systems were written in C. It was initially developed between 1969 and 1973, however, its evolution into the object-oriented C++ and later to C# kept this language relevant.
Java (not be confused with JavaScript) is another popular object-oriented programming language. Released by Sun in 1995, Java focuses on multiple platforms designed to require as few implementation dependencies as possible. The WORA (write once, run anywhere) acronym is often identified as a characteristic of Java. Due mostly to its multiplatform aspect, Java is widely used on the web.
