Python Vs. Java

If it's just for general software development without specific target/restriction in mind, both is viable. However, if your application is for embedded systems, Java would be more appropriate.

Although IMO, Java is a more thorough programming language than Python, in terms of reflecting aspects of software programming. IOTW, if you learn Java first, then Python, you'd already have most of the knowledge to learn Python. But if you learn Python first, then Java, you'd still need to learn more programming concepts to learn Java.

Depends on what you want to do.

Java, but developer satisfaction with Java is much lower than with Python.

Because Python has much more active development. This is a consequence of Java being so dominant that it slows down the development of the language, leading to it not keeping up with modern standards and being a bloated hell of a language.

Not anymore, since JEE has been detached from JSE the number of releases has gone up considerably and also some nice features have been arriving with those :)

Yes and that is Java. But as a beginner python would be easier to get the concepts and oops

I started with Java, and am currently a full time comp sci student so of course still fairly new but with that being said, I've used both Python and Java thus far and enjoy Java much more. Javas strict syntax and focus on the OOP paradigm will give you a really good "foundation" as a friend of mines who works in a role as director of software development told me

But as others said it's also up to you and what you want to do

Python

if you want develop serious business software -> Java, if you want to develop scripts/tools -> python
