was designed by James Gosling under Oracle Corporation.

Different name -
You will be surprised to know that Java earlier was not called Java but it was

named Oak. However, there are speculations that James and his team went to
cafes to discuss the name and ended up with Java.
2.
Java was created by an accident -
Yes, Java was created by an accident. James and his team were building a
set-top box and started by cleaning up C++ but ended up with a new language and
runtime. After this, Java, or we should say Oak came into being.
3.
Popular language -

stands at the 2nd position in the list of most popular languages.
The first popular programming language is however C.
4.

Java’s Mascot is called “The Duke” and was created by Joe Palrang who worked
for a Hollywood blockbuster named “Shrek”. However, each year there is a new Duke
personality.
5.
User interface -
You won’t believe it when we say there are about 3 billion mobile phones that are
working in Java and around 125 million TV sets. It is the most popular choice
of programming language for software developers.
6.
