About
Java is a multi-platform, object-oriented programming language first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995, designed to run across different systems through the Java Virtual Machine.
It compiles source code into platform-independent bytecode executed by the JVM, enabling the "write once, run anywhere" model, and provides automatic memory management, built-in multithreading, strong type checking, and a comprehensive standard library for networking, I/O, and graphical interfaces.
Ruby is an interpreted, object-oriented, open-source programming language designed for simplicity and productivity, commonly used for web development.
It features a pure object model where everything is an object, dynamic typing, automatic memory management with garbage collection, and a standard library with over 100 built-in modules for tasks such as file handling, networking, and data processing.
