Java runs only on the Java interpreter. C and C++ run on the bare metal of the CPU.
Is Java modeled around a central repository of all dependencies so users can download random binaries off the internet?
- oblio 6y agoYes, and has been so for at least 17 years: https://search.maven.org/ https://search.maven.org/ But it's not necessarily centralized, Java package management tools can use many third party repositories, if needed, and can also use proxy/cache/mirror systems where for example a company can point all their package manager just to their official company repo and everything goes through it. BTW, Java's not interpreted, it's compiled. Just not to native code.
