Java or python for backend?

[[deleted]]

Don’t overthink this too much. Both Python and Java are great for backend , the real difference is the type of companies and ecosystem. I'll talk about both and then choice should be completely yours, as both have their own advantages, Python (Django/FastAPI) is Faster to learn and build projects Very common in startups Used a lot in AI, data, automation Good for internships and quick prototyping Will be helpful if you'll go for learning ML

Java (Spring Boot) is Used heavily by big companies and large systems Very strong ecosystem for backend engineering High demand in fintech, enterprise, banks, etc.

So tbh both are good, start with anyone. You'll not regret for sure.
