3. Topic Introduction: Supposing you have a development project coming up, which programming language you will choose? Will you choose Java for Backend Development, Ruby on Rails for MVP or Python? Java holds the top position according to TIOBE Index 2019 to be the best programming language in the world. Without further ado, let's discuss the top 15 reasons to choose Java for backend development!

4. The Programming Language for the Enterprise: Initially, it was an elixir in the development world, but there came a time when programmers thought it would become replaceable. But the impeccable features that the language holds made it stay forever.

5. 2. The Unstoppable Growth: Believe it or not, it has been 24 years since Java was first created. From the beginning, the language has evolved and adapted to suit the latest market trends. Furthermore, with the addition of ample features to every release companies are getting more aligned towards using Java for backend development.

6. 3. Great Performance: The Java compiler is specifically designed for performance. The code is compiled into byte code and then compiled by Java compiler. Before converting into machine level code, the code runs through Java Virtual Machine.

7. 4. Mobile App Segment Still Holds Java: Whether it is a Windows, Android or iOS smartphone, Java-based apps are everywhere. We have now switched to Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android apps, but developers having a strong Java base can quickly master these languages.

8. 5. It's Secure Safety characteristics are built in Java and the runtime system. There are runtime checking and static type checking at the compile time. Having such features, it becomes challenging to invade a Java-based application from outside.

9. 6. Ease of Coding The ease of coding any language makes it simple. This holds true for Java as well because it has a less ambiguous syntax terminology. Anyone can start right off with Java having the fundamental principles of programming.

10. 7. Object-Oriented Programming Language: Being an Object Oriented Programming Language, it has various concepts that are relatable. Java supports principles like Data Abstraction, Polymorphism, Encapsulation, Overloading, and Inheritance. According to the backend web developers, this makes the language as powerful as C++.

11. 8. Inspired by C & C++ C & C++ are a very long tenured programming language that are the ancestors of Java & Python. Java resembles C & C++ but doesn’t have characters like pointers and multiple inheritances. Therefore, developers with an understanding of C and C++ can grab Java easily & quickly.

12. 9. Platform Independence During the ’90s this was the major reason for Java’s popularity. The tagline “write once and run anywhere” is enticing enough to grab lots of attention. This feature still entices development companies that are low on budget, as most of the Java apps are developed in Windows environment & run in UNIX platform.

13. 10. Robustness Robustness equals reliability, and no other language except Java assures this. In fact, it is the most highly supported programming language that is robust & scalable. Additionally, automatic memory management and garbage collection features make it portable across many platforms.

14. 11. Java is Everywhere Yes, this programming language is omnipresent. On the desktop systems, smartphones, web, embedded systems, or wherever you can think of. Having efficient stability and scalability, Java has become a universal programming language. For this reason, Java is gradually gaining a big name in the realm of the Internet of Things.

15. 12. Multi-Threading Java holds the multithreading capabilities. This means that you can develop highly interactive and responsive apps with the help of a number of concurrent threads of activities. Making it simpler, there is concurrent execution of two or more parts of a program for maximum utilization of the CPU.

16. 13.Rich Programming API Java API offers everything that a successful program needs to know whether it is input/output handling, networking, utilities, query handling, database connection, XML parsing, data and time handing or anything else as per requirement. Apache Commons, Spring MVC, Hibernate are some open source libraries. This is another reason why it is preferred for backend programming.

17. 14. Free Development Tools Since Java is an open-source language and free for all, almost all development tools are available for free download. This makes developers enthusiastically code in Integrated Development Environment especially if they are coding in DOS or notepad. Eclipse and NetBeans are two powerful development tools.

18. 15. A Huge Developer’s Community You will be surprised to know that Java has 2nd largest StackOverflow community. Also, Java has 4th largest Meetup community with 1,400 Java Meetup groups completing over 580,000 members across the globe. This is not all, Java is the 2nd most-tagged language at Github that has over 1.5 million Java projects and 1100 have been starred by more than 500 individuals.

19. Conclusion: The most volatile field nowadays is software development as there is a new programming language developed every other day. Java is certainly a magic potion that can take an enterprise into another level. This language is being used since ages is here to stay forever. The long commercial life and wide Java adoption by the developers for backend development have built a robust ecosystem of libraries, documentation, and frameworks aiming at e-commerce, security, and transactional architecture.
