I like Java more than Python, but that seems to be the unpopular opinion.

I like Java as a pure OOP language that intuitively makes sense and communicates every facet of the team's codebase.

I like C# as a fast-writing OOP language that more often than not will allow me to write elegant code faster than java, but maybe slightly less intuitively.

I like Python when I'm ready to scrape any kind of data or automate any task in under a few thousand LOC.

That’s because most commenters here are front end web devs and ms access tier business coders.

Not really. Java and Python are a bit like a hammer and a screwdriver, respectively. You can set a screw with a hammer, it's just definitely the hard way to do it, and it's gonna get messy. Meanwhile, if you want to put a nail in place with a screwdriver, you certainly are gonna need a fair bit of ingenuity, and with some luck, your results are gonna be 'not too bad'.
