Java has survived since 1995 through many changes in technology by evolving and embracing change. It remained popular through the dot-com bubble, rise of mobile phones, and multi-core revolution by focusing on backwards compatibility, polyglot programming, portability, and concurrency. In the 2010s, Java saw a renaissance through its widespread use by companies like Netflix, Twitter, and Google for cloud computing, big data, and mobile applications.
