Java is Simple

Java programming language is simple, and experienced C++ developers will quickly go on with it, because Java syntax is derived from C/C++. Also, the developers of java attempted to keep the langauge as small as possible, to make it easier to learn and use.

Dor example memory leaks that are a constant source of headaches in other programming languages are handles by Java itself. As soon as a varible in Java program go out of scope, any memory is used is released and returned to the system. Secandly, the Java langauge eliminates pointers, which are often a source of program errors that are very hard to debug. Thirdly, the class libraies included with Java language are much smaller in other language like Visual C++.
