Truths and Myths About Java
Truths and Myths About Java
On may 24 2021 , java turned 26 years
old. Which is pretty old enough for a programming language to be. It's incredible that it is still usually wide and
run by many of the large organisations in the world. But it has a different
sense among other programming languages that it has two distinct things , one
of them is the language itself and other the Java runtime.
Most of the developers think that Java is
very old and due to this reason it should not be used. But still javascript
which came six months after java came is
the most popular programming language used
in today's world.

1. Java is dead
The evolution of Java language happen to
be at a quite nice pace from the year 1995 to 2006. This was because of the new
major version they launched in every 2 years.
In Java 5 the introduction of generics
was a really a good language shift in 2004.
The version 6 of the Java was released in
the year 2006. Relatively it had fewer
modifications.
Some believed that Java had died after the acquisition by Oracle.

For the future of java many doubts have come to light. Some people say that it will be dead under oracle’s leadership. In 2007 , java 7 finally launched but it had limited features to what was expected by others.
2. Java is slow
One of the determined myth of java
language is that the fact of java to be slow. But however this fact is based on
truth that since launch of first version
of java succeeding versions were really slower than other languages like
c or c++. So to keep the promise “write once , Run anywhere” , Java had to go
with some concessions and its virtual machine, known as the very Famous JVM.
This added a software layer. In some specific cases , the performance could
agonize.
In addition to the problem of new
software layer in Java some implementations were really slow in the start .Now come through and the c plus plus and c enthusiasts must
come to the conclusion of the fact that JVM is also fast

3. Java has become a paid service
In 2018 Oracle said in a confusing way
that JDK would now be charged to
professional uses for production.
So it was obvious that confusion lead to some arguments that Java became a paid
service but this was not the case. Another of its new math came to falseness.
In reality
Oracle distributes two types or two builds of the JDK:
·
Oracle JDK
·
Oracle OpenJDK
You only have to pay Oracle for
production purpose but Oracle JDK is absolutely free development and testing
environment.
It comes with long term support from the Oracle. Plus the open
JDK platform from Oracle is also free
for any environment. This is how java is
free as long as we use Oracle open JDK

4. Java can’t leak memory
In Java the garbage collector manages
memory. 10 like other languages such as c or c plus plus this developer does
not have to deal with management of memory itself. All of its intention is to
extract the developer from this type of work in order to limit the memory leak.
Based on this fact many people think that it is not possible to have leakage of
memory in Java.
It is still a myth that needs to be debunked. Indeed, by never releasing references on objects and variables that are no longer useful, the developer will prevent the Garbage Collector from doing its work properly.In any case like this it is very
important to be conscious that a managed memory language like Java does not
mean that developer should not design program that take into account the management
of memory issues. The developer must be aware of this and even if the way of
reasoning is not same as compared to the other compiling languages like c or
c++.
But in the end everything remains a
matter of common sense.

5. Java is the only language you
need to learn
Java still remains the most widely used
language in companies. Plus to add to
Android's fabulous success in these years or in the Mobile World makes
it perfectly usable to build mobile applications. Java framework this allows us
to create web applications with Java language always. From the client-side Java
is also in the spotlight with swing or Java FX. This is rather the fact that
swing is still aging and Oracle support for Java FX is quite lighter now.

This last resolved meth around Java is
now once again to be forgotten that is Java allows everything to be done but it
is not necessary that the best solution in all cases as a programmer is to be
pragmatic!

Conclusion
Java still remains the most widely used
programming language and in fact the leader that all competitors want to
displace from its pedestal. But in the end the myths about Java are mostly
persistent.
So in this article we present a due the
five very great meals while showing while they were false.
In conclusion we should never forget that
Java is here to stay for long time and you must be always pragmatic while
choosing a technology for any project.
