  3. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere ( WORA ), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. [17] Java applications are ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just-in-time_compilation

    In computing, just-in-time ( JIT) compilation (also dynamic translation or run-time compilations) [1] is compilation (of computer code) during execution of a program (at run time) rather than before execution. [2] This may consist of source code translation but is more commonly bytecode translation to machine code, which is then executed directly. A system implementing a JIT compiler typically ...

  7. Literate programming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming

    Literate programming is a programming paradigm introduced in 1984 by Donald Knuth in which a computer program is given as an explanation of how it works in a natural language, such as English, interspersed (embedded) with snippets of macros and traditional source code, from which compilable source code can be generated. [1] The approach is used in scientific computing and in data science ...

  8. Assembly language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_language

    In computer programming, assembly language (alternatively assembler language [1] or symbolic machine code ), [2] [3] [4] often referred to simply as assembly and commonly abbreviated as ASM or asm, is any low-level programming language with a very strong correspondence between the instructions in the language and the architecture's machine code instructions. [5] Assembly language usually has ...
