ernet programming languages, why would any business use any other computer programming language than the one used by the world renowned Microsoft Corporation? Like any software purchased by someone for their computer it is bound to have bugs within waiting to ruin a computer or crash at a most pertinent moment. The C++ computer programming language has been known to give its developers way too much power for their own good. Meaning that programmers using the C++ computer programming language are able to tweak memory settings or system memory usage, leaving way for the destruction of a computer systems memory and usage ability, resulting in slow performance, instability of the computer system, or a system crash. Most of all, the C++ computer programming language is limited to one type of running system at a time. For example, a program written in C++ is solely written for a computer running Microsoft Windows, or solely for a computer running on a Macintosh operation system. The computer programming language can never be written so that both types of systems can utilize the same C++ code, allowing for a difficult process of porting the process of changing the code of a program on Microsoft Windows, for example, and then to a Macintosh. This is always a tough feat to accomplish and takes a long time to complete. So then, what is the alternative to this too-powerful, hard-to-port computer programming language? As of 1997, Sun Microsystems has introduced a new Internet-based computer programming language that has more compatibility on all systems that its competitor, C++. The Java computer programming language is similar to C++ in its coding. To learn C++ is to learn ninety-percent of Java, and vice versa (Liberty Page 11). Yet, Java is a lot different because it runs on a virtual machine, which can be installed on any type of computer system allowing for the same code for any program to run on any system. This is a lifesa...
