What is java good for

Question

Is Java good for just game Development and if so is it better for Android or can you make desktop Games with it like Minecraft thats made with java

Answer 1

Java was never a priority for game development, it's high-level, meaning that tedious tasks like memory management are already automatically handled, and that might take a turn in performance for the better, or for worse.

Instead, consider it as more of a general-purpose programming language. The actual most common uses of Java is for Android development, software development, enterprise-level web backends, and embedded systems programming.

So, in short, yes you can make desktop applications with Java.
