Java
James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton
initiated the Java language project in June 1991. The language was
initially called Oak and after that renamed as Java. Gosling aimed to
implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++
style of notation. Java is under the OOPS concept.
