Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Unlike conventional languages which are generally either designed to be compiled to native (machine) code, or interpreted from source code at runtime, Java is compiled to a bytecode which is then run (generally using JIT compilation) by a Java virtual machine.
The language itself borrows much syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
Java is only distantly related to JavaScript, though they have similar names and share a C-like syntax.

"Java" generally refers to a combination of three things: the Java programming language (a high-level, object-oriented programming language); the Java Virtual Machine (a high-performance virtual machine that executes bytecodes on a specific computing platform, typically abbreviated JVM); and the Java platform, a JVM running compiled Java bytecodes, usually calling on a set of standard libraries such as those provided by Java Standard Edition (SE) or Enterprise Edition (EE). Though coupled by design, the language does not imply the JVM, and vice versa.
