ABSTRACT

This paper explores the evolution and current trends in Java programming, focusing on its role in modern software development. With its rich ecosystem, object-oriented principles, and platform independence, Java remains a dominant language in enterprise-level applications, web development, and mobile applications. The research highlights key advancements in Java, including the introduction of new features in recent versions such as lambda expressions, modules, and the new var keyword for local variable type inference. Additionally, we investigate the performance improvements through the introduction of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) optimizations and garbage collection mechanisms.

Through a detailed comparison of Java with other popular programming languages, such as Python and C++, this paper emphasizes Java’s strengths in scalability, maintainability, and security. The study also considers the challenges that Java developers face, including slow adoption of new language features, and the increasing complexity of large-scale Java applications.

Finally, the research evaluates the impact of emerging technologies, such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence, on Java’s future. Our findings suggest that Java’s rich heritage, along with continued enhancements in concurrency handling, modularity, and cross-platform integration, ensure its relevance in the rapidly evolving software development landscape.

Keywords: Java, object-oriented programming, JVM, garbage collection, software development, performance, modularity, cloud computing.
