## Java Language was originally invented by James Gosling.

**Java**, modern [object-oriented](https://www.britannica.com/technology/object-oriented-programming) [computer programming language](https://www.britannica.com/technology/computer-programming-language).

Java was created at [Sun Microsystems, Inc.](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Sun-Microsystems-Inc), where James Gosling led a team of researchers in an effort to create a new language that would allow consumer electronic devices to communicate with each other. Work on the language began in 1991, and before long the team’s focus changed to a new niche, the [World Wide Web](https://www.britannica.com/topic/World-Wide-Web). Java was first released in 1995, and Java’s ability to provide interactivity and multimedia showed that it was particularly well suited for the Web.

The difference between the way Java and other programming languages worked was revolutionary. Code in other languages is first translated by a [compiler](https://www.britannica.com/technology/compiler) into instructions for a specific type of computer. The Java compiler instead turns code into something called Bytecode, which is then interpreted by [software](https://www.britannica.com/technology/software) called the [Java Runtime Environment](https://www.britannica.com/technology/Java-Runtime-Environment) (JRE), or the Java virtual [machine](https://www.britannica.com/technology/machine). The JRE acts as a virtual computer that interprets Bytecode and translates it for the host computer. Because of this, Java code can be written the same way for many platforms (“write once, run anywhere”), which helped lead to its popularity for use on the [Internet](https://www.britannica.com/technology/Internet), where many different types of computers may retrieve the same Web page.
