This clue might be a double definition.

'asian island' is the first definition.
'Java' can be an answer for 'island' (Java is an example). I'm not sure about the 'asian' bit.

'language used by programmers' is the second definition.
(Java is a programming language)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for java that I've seen before include "Large island; coffee type" , "Jakarta's island" , "'Indonesian island, famed for coffee (4)'" , "Most populous Indonesian island" , "Its capital is Jakarta" .)
