A MUG OF COFFEE WITH A RISING STEAM DEPICTING JAVA AS A LANGUAGE.

Well , we all have seen unique logos representing programming language . These logos actually help us to differentiate one language with other . But do you really know the reason and logic behind it? Why a mug of coffee is used to represent Java or Python snake for Python or Green droid for Android and why not any other symbol?

Here, I am going to explain how and why programming language java is named as java and how it is related with a mug of coffee.

Java is considered as one of the most successful programming language developed because of its key features including Security , Portability , Architechture- neutral , Interpreted , Platform independent and so on.

Why A Mug Of Coffee For Java :

Java was conceived by James gosling , Patrik Naughton ,Chris warth , Ed frank and Mike Sheridan at Sun Microsystems, INC in 1991. James Gosling is considered as the FATHER OF JAVA because he was the one who proposed the idea of JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE and hence making language platform independent and portable.

There was a oak tree in front of the gosling’s office and as we have seen the logo of previous languages developed at the time like c and c++ there was no specialized logos representing these languages individually.

Initially java was named as oak inspired from the oak tree in front of the office but unfortunateky the name was already acquired by the other company, so they were supposed to change the name of the programming language they have developed.

James gosling was having a cup of coffee in his hand when he had a idea of developing these features in the language. As he wanted the name of the language to be revolutionary, dynamic, lively and fun. As the programming language is so unique So he avoided the nerdy names including ‘net’ or ‘web’ in it because according to him those names are forgettable .

JAVA!! Booooooomm!!

Language was named as java. Java is the name of island of Indonesia which is famous for its Coffee beans . The Java developers used to drink Peet’s coffee made from coffee beans from java.Thus, the coffee mug with a rising steam is used as symbol for java. Also, coffee seeds were also known ad ‘Java Beans’ hence one of the famous IDE for java is named as NetBeans IDE.

WHY JAVA IS CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE SUCCESSFULL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE?

The aspect which makes Java one of the most appealing languages is that it, at its core, Java is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language. OOP makes easier to solve complex problems. Its modular nature helps programmers to write reusable code and also enhances the development process.

Now, let’s look at some of the best features of Java that make it so popular!
