 
 <prompt> Numbered answers:
1. Java na general-purpose computer programming language wey dey concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and e dey specifically designed to get as few implementation dependencies as possible.
2. E dey intended make application developers fit "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning say compiled Java code fit run for all platforms wey support Java without the need for recompilation.
3. Java applications typically dey compiled to bytecode wey fit run for any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture.
4. As of 2016, Java na one of the most popular programming languages wey dey use, especially for client-server web applications, with reported 9 million developers.
5. Java originally developed by James Gosling for Sun Microsystems (wey don later be acquired by Oracle Corporation) and e bin release for 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform.
6. The language borrow plenty of its syntax from C and C++, but e get fewer low-level facilities pass them.
7. The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries bin originally release by Sun under proprietary licenses.
8. As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, Sun relicensed most of its Java technologies under the GNU General Public License.
9. Others don also develop alternative implementations of these Sun technologies, like the GNU Compiler for Java (bytecode compiler), GNU Classpath (standard libraries), and IcedTea-Web (browser plugin for applets). <response>: ```1. one general-purpose computer programming language
