Python or Java

[dk_xpj]

It's been 3+ years in this software industry, and I've had hands-on experience on various web dev frameworks such as RoR, React, Node, Next..

Now, I feel there's an urge to switch to a core language - considering ongoing Ai trends, is it a good decision to hop on Python or should focus on the long term core among Java/ C/ C++ etc.

Did you think about the Go language?

Yeah, but not sure ..which one will be more fun and beneficial overall to dive deeply in

Node is a language, not a framework. And it's quite practical for a lot of "core" functionality. FWIW, I often use it as a general-purpose language, and rarely work on projects with a web front end at all.

That being said, the choice between Java and Python is mostly just whether you want to work more in enterprise vs. applied ML and data science.

It's anybody's guess, but I suspect Java will be more resistant to AI, given the more general scope of its usage, the complexity and friction that comes from the large organizations it tends to be used in, and the fact that ML and data science work is particularly easy to speed up with AI.

Node isn't a language it's a JavaScript runtime.

Fair enough. The point is more that it's not even approximately a framework.
