Why Java is Most Popular Language?

I think the reason is timing. Java took a huge market share during a software boom. It looked attractive at the time because it was an improvement over, but still similar to, existing languages. It also appealed to a perceived need of the time, making it hard for mediocre programmers to screw up.
We've learned since that it's much more important to make it hard for mediocre product managers to screw up by using a language that encourages rapid iteration. However, Java still gets chosen by occasional intelligent programmers because it developed a few robust libraries.

The first point Java is a platform independent language it works any where. How it works and why C, C++ and .Net not works.
That paragraph needs to be put on a t-shirt.

No paragraph
LOL, So like what, you've taken the first paragraph of your article away now? That was the best one! Are you planning on keeping it for your own t-shirt line?
Seriously though, all in good fun dude. I certainly don't expect people whose first language is not English to write perfect English. It's none the less amusing - from the point of view of the native speaker - to see what people come up with sometimes.
One of my favorite non-native English snippets from another forum (in the context of something bad possibly befalling one of the conversation participants):
You know this happen, this happen you.

This article is so bad it's almost funny. It's a shame there isn't a Bulwer-Lytton contest for technology articles.

Asside from the gawd awful language, the thing is that java is nothing special.
If its platform native code vs VM, well we got: Java (woo)
Ruby (woo-er)
Python (woo-er-er)
Haskel
Lua
Freaken' Emacs and it's lisp
tons of lisp derivitives
The list goes on. Java is not the only VM on the market. This article would have been good in 1996.

+ On what basis does he assume java is "most popular language"[sic]?
+ What on earth is the relationship between java being the most popular language and virus attacks?
+ This article does not make sense
