Why is java called java?
Java comes from a project called Green of Sun Company. Its original purpose is to develop a distributed code system for household consumer electronics products, so that we can send emails to refrigerators, televisions and other household appliances, control them and exchange information with them. At first, I was prepared to adopt C++, but C++ was too complicated and had poor security. Finally, we developed a new language Oak (formerly Oak(Java) based on C++. OAK is a subtle and secure network language. Sun once bid for an interactive TV project based on this, and was defeated by SGI. Poor oak is almost homeless. At this time, the Mosaic and Netscape developed by Mark Adelison inspired the members of the Oak project team. They wrote HotJava browser in Java, which was supported by Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Company, and triggered Java to enter the Internet. There are also some anecdotes about Java names. One day, several members of the Java member group were discussing what to name this new language. At that time, they were drinking Java coffee in a cafe. A person had an idea, called Java, and won the admiration of others. As a result, the name Java spread.
