Java Alternatives
Java is described as 'General-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible' and is a leading programming language in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Java for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac, BSD and Web-based apps. The best Java alternative is Python, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Java are JavaScript, C++, C# and Rust.
