Java succeeded because of portability....But what made portability to come into picture??

Question

Strou Strokes (Founder of c++) found all the problems associated with c lang including portability but he neglected for a reason.... Which made demand for Java later.... what is it??

Answer 1

Its Bjarne stroustrup by the way..Java was made to address the fact that many c++ developers were making mistakes..Its true that java is really portable but its slower than C++ coz code is converted into byte_code which is run by the interpreter.. C++ on the other hand,its code is converted to machine language at compile time,making it faster...

Another thing that made java a big success was the internet,its really portable so the net is a walk over..

Just a few tweaks in your C++ code base will make your programs run on any platform,C++ doesn't fall far from java in portability tho..

Sorry for all this 'blubber' about java and c++,I really love the both of them..😏😏
