The Java programming language is 30!
https://www.theregister.com/2025/05/23/30_years_ago_java_arrived/
I first heard about Java very soon after it was announced, probably in 1995, when a Sun engineer gave a talk at HP Labs in Bristol.
However, I didn't actually start using Java until 2004. "Struts", and similar weirdness.
We had a brief foray into the cul-de-sac of Applets (running Java UI within a web browser); this was, unfortunately, extremely slow, using an external plug-in. Modern browswers could probably make a decent go at this if they tried again, though in practice that won't now happen.
I'm still programming in Java on the back-end, mostly using Spring Boot. And having to fight the awfulness of JavaScript / TypeScript for front-end work. That, therefore, qualifies me as a 'full-stack' developer nowadays (albeit mostly retired).
I know that Java programming is derided by the glitterati, but it is a useful workhorse which will be around for a while yet.
Happy 30th Birthday, #Java! 🎂
From applets to #AI, you've been the #JVM powered heartbeat of innovation for three decades!
We celebrated your big 30 the only way we know how: with #code, cake, and a room full of #community love at #JCON2025.
Here's to 30 more years of portability, platform independence, and passionate developers!
🖖 Long live #Duke and long live Java!
#java30 Java was the rock of my software engineering career, working commercially in Java v1.0 believe it or not and using it for 13 years. I did C & C++ before that and have learnt Node.js, Go and Python since.
Java is still imho one of the easiest languages for a C-like developer to read. It's OO model is damn fine, and it's mostly fast enough.
I wish it handled JSON less clunkily, but strongly typed languages save you so much prayer & guess work in larger codebases.
🎉 Java turns 30!
Launched on May 23, 1995.
