A rusting Sun Microsystems van as seen at the Oracle-acquired Santa Clara, California campus in 2016. Several notable engineers resigned following the acquisition, including James Gosling, the creator of Java (resigned April 2010); Tim Bray, the creator of XML (resigned February 2010); Kohsuke Kawaguchi, lead developer of Hudson (resigned April 2010); and Bryan Cantrill, the co-creator of ...
Oak is a discontinued programming language created by James Gosling in 1989, initially for Sun Microsystems ' set-top box project. The language later evolved to become Java.
Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile.

James Gosling The Java platform and language began as an internal project at Sun Microsystems in December 1990, providing an alternative to the C++/ C programming languages. Engineer Patrick Naughton had become increasingly frustrated with the state of Sun's C++ and C application programming interfaces (APIs) and tools, as well as with the way ...
Write once, run anywhere (WORA), or sometimes Write once, run everywhere (WORE), was a 1995 [1] slogan created by Sun Microsystems to illustrate the cross-platform benefits of the Java language. [2][3] Ideally, this meant that a Java program could be developed on any device, compiled into standard bytecode, and be expected to run on any device ...
