Java, a new object-oriented computing language related to C++, is receiving considerable attention due to its use in creating network-sharable, platform-independent software modules (known as "applets") that can be used with the World Wide Web. The Web has rapidly become the most commonly used information-retrieval tool associated with the global computer network known as the Internet, and Java has the potential to further accelerate the Web's application to medical problems. Java's potentially wide acceptance due to its Web association and its own technical merits also suggests that it may become a popular language for non-Web-based, object-oriented computing.
Java是一种与C++相关的新型面向对象计算语言，由于它可用于创建能与万维网一起使用的、可在网络上共享且独立于平台的软件模块（称为“小应用程序”），因而受到了广泛关注。万维网已迅速成为与名为因特网的全球计算机网络相关联的最常用信息检索工具，而Java有潜力进一步加速万维网在医学问题上的应用。由于Java与万维网的关联及其自身的技术优点，它有可能被广泛接受，这也表明它可能会成为一种用于非基于万维网的面向对象计算的流行语言。
