   Java was created by James Gosling and released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. It was designed with the principle of "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA), enabling cross-platform compatibility through the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Over the years, Java became a leading language for enterprise applications, Android development, and large-scale backend systems. Oracle now maintains Java, with modern innovations such as Project Loom and GraalVM enhancing its performance.

   C# was developed by Microsoft in the early 2000s as part of its .NET initiative, led by Anders Hejlsberg. Originally designed as an alternative to Java, C# evolved into a powerful language for Windows applications, backend services, game development (via Unity), and cloud computing. The introduction of .NET Core made C# fully cross-platform, allowing it to run on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
