Java was innovative for its concept of having a central place that all open source contributors could used to share libraries. Rimple said that if you tried, you could still pull Java libraries dating back to the first version’s inception. In addition, Java’s fluidity as a programming language and concept allows for programmers to use it on any device from a mainframe system or tablet.
