== Similar platforms ==
The success of Java and its [[write once, run anywhere]] concept has led to other similar efforts, notably the [[Microsoft .NET]] platform, appearing since 2002, which incorporates many of the successful aspects of Java. However, .NET's goal of making [[List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions#Current_versions|36+ versions of Windows operating systems]] alike to a programmer did not include non-Windows operating systems or non-Intel-compatible processors. .NET's goals did, however, include a strong emphasis on cross-language library usability,
.NET includes an implementation of Java called [[J Sharp programming language|Visual J#]] (formerly known as [[J plus plus|J++]]) that is '''not''' compatible with the Java specification, and the associated class library mostly dates to the old '''JDK 1.1''' version of the language; for these reasons, it is more a transitional language to switch from Java to the [[Microsoft .NET]] platform, than a first class [[Microsoft .NET]] language.
