Resumen
The article focuses on Java, a computer programming language, and its specific features that, according to the author, are rather fantastic abstractions of many programming paradigms. The author argues that while the often much touted advantage of java has been its platform independence, other utilities that it offers as a programming language, have largely been ignored. Java's automatic memory management, operating system abstractions and familiar low-level syntax, for system programmers, make it a highly productive environment. Java, moreover, includes classic data structures such as binary trees, hash tables and user-interface components like buttons, checkboxes and scrollbars, which are but a few utilities that Java offers as a hoard of Plug-in Components. The author further holds that much of Java's popularity can duly be attributed to the increasing need for a new programming language that was already there for a long time. Despite having so many impressive traits, Java is a rather slow language in terms of execution, which can be attributed to a whole lot of technical reasons
