Java vs Go

Java:

Java is an object oriented programming language. It is also known as multi threaded language. It was designed by James gosling in the year 1995. We can also say that the father of java is James Gosling. It was owned by the sun micro systems.

We also have many features in the java programming language. The main feature of java is the platform independence. We can also define it as WORA principle. It means that Write Once Run Any where. It is mainly used for mobile applications , desktop applications , web applications and games etc.

In java we have the hard ware and also the soft ware environment in which we can run the program. Java also have a runtime environment known as Java Runtime Environment ( JRE ) and also an Application Programming Interface ( API ).

Java was developed by sun micro systems (now subsidary of oracle) in the year 1995. Before naming as java it is already named as oak which was already a registered company. 

Java is also known as the network – centric language of programming. In order to concurrency java uses the thread based model. In java the variables are in mutable type in default itself and also the java programming language will not support the lazy evaluation.

Java programming language contains the static members and also this programming language will not support the concept of operator overloading. It also offers with or provides with the backward compatibility.

We write a huge code in java programming language where it becomes more readable. We also have different kind of frame works in java such as grails , spring , etc.

Features of java:

We also have many features in java programming language. The main features or some of the features of java are as shown below :

• Simple
• Object – oriented  programming language
• Portable
• Plat form independent
• Secured
• Robust
• Architecture neutral
• Interpreted
• High performance
• Multi threaded language
• Distributed
• Dynamic

We can say that the programs of java programming language are less compact when they are compared with the go programming language.

There is also an automatic garbage collection in java programming language. Java is a best known for its security and it is also known as the secured box. There is also a translator in java. The translators used in java are compiler and the combination of interpreter with JIT compiler.

  We can also define the java by using the following definition :

• Java is the collection of Application Programming Interface ( API ) .
• Application Programming Interface ( API ) is the collection of the packages.
• Packages are the collection of the classes and the interfaces.
• Where the interface is the collection of abstract methods and also the final static variables.
• Where the classes are the collection of instance variables , constructors and the instance methods.

Applications of java:

We can also develop many applications such as web applications etc . by using the java programming language. Few of the applications that are based on java are as shown below :

• Desktop application such as media player , anti virus etc.
• Web application such as Javatpoint etc.
• Enterprise application such as banking application.
• Mobile applications
• Robotic application
• Smart card application
• Embedded system
• Games etc.

 Let us see a small program using the java programming language using the following code as shown below :

Example :

import java.io.*;
class Demo
{
public static void main ( String args [ ] )
{
System.out.println ( “ Welcome to java “ );
} // main method
} // demo class

Output:

Welcome to java

Golang:

Go is also known as the golang which is a go programming language. The go programming language is also known as “golang “. We know that java programming language is an object oriented programming language but unlike the java programming language the go language is a procedure oriented programming language.

Go language as introduced as a procedure oriented programming language in the year 2009, but before the year 2009 in the year 2007 the go language has been developed by Rob Pike , Ken Thompson and also Robert Griesemer at the google.

Inorder to manage the dependencies in an efficient way programs will be using the packages. As same as the dynamic programming languages the go programming language also supports with the environmental patterns.

In the java programming language we have classes that contains constructors , variables and methods whereas the go programming language will not support the classes that contains the constructors.

We have exception handling mechanism in the java programming language whereas the go programming language will not contain the exception handling mechanism but it has errors.

We know that java programming language supports the implicit type conversion, inheritance, method overloading and also the generics but the go programming language does not support all the above features that is implicit type conversion, inheritance, method overloading and also as well as generic concepts.

The go programming language supports the features such as  Goroutine and channel which are not supported by the java programming language. And also the threads in the go programming language are very cheap as compared to the threads in the java programming language.

We can say that the programs of go programming language are more compact when they are compared with the java programming language.

Let us see a small program using the java programming language using the following code as shown below:

Example:

package main 
import “ fnc ”
func main ( )
{
fnc.Println ( “ Welcome to go “ )
} // main method

Output :

Welcome to go
