Last year, with all the extra time I found stuck at home, I finally decided to learn a few programming languages as a career shift. I am in my late 20s and I've decided that coding for a living should be my top priority. I studied Java for around 6 months and got hyped making my own simple apps (I usually learn fast), but I kinda drifted away from it and haven't done any programming for 2 months to focus on Japanese.
I am still full of motivation and intent but I'm starting to doubt if Java is even worth the time anymore. Should I switch to Kotlin and later Go, skipping Java completely?
I'd love to start applying for junior jobs mid-late 2022.
TL:DR Want to work as a coder in 2022, is studying Java a waste of time?
Currently conflicted between whether to go with python or with Java, I could use a good discussion to make my choice clear, I'm aware that I can learn both in the future but the question which one I should pursue first and give my all efforts and time to for now.
I'm only looking to learn any of one these for now so I can start off somewhere in web industry, python offers a lot such as ML and othe stuff but my main focus for now is becoming a good web developer, I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas. Thankyou
With the rise of hot technologies, what makes Java still a viable (or even ideal) language to learn and get used to in 2022?
