The reach and power of Java continues to be felt in the world of computer language
development. Many of its innovative features, constructs, and concepts have become
part of the baseline for any new language. The success of Java is simply too important
to ignore.
Perhaps the most important example of Java’s influence is C#. Recently created by
Microsoft to support the .NET Framework, C# is closely related to Java. For example,
both share the same general C++-style syntax, support distributed programming, and
utilize the same object model. There are, of course, differences between Java and C#,
but the overall “look and feel” of these languages is very similar. This “cross-pollination”
from Java to C# is the strongest testimonial to date that Java redefined the way we
think about and use a computer language.
