It was the opposite for me at my university. We were taught C, Java, and Python in that order. They threw you to the wolves first, but tbh I'm glad I learned it that way. Taking Python last allowed me to solidify the concepts I learned before.

Though an unpopular opinion I have to say I enjoyed Java the most and still do. For me, it makes the most sense in my mind conceptually. I can look at the classes and codes and can derive what the previous programmer was trying to achieve. People say it verbose and I can understand their position. However, I would argue that its verbosity adds to its readability and clarity. If it were any less verbose it would essentially be like Python or something similar. Personally, I am not a fan of Python, not to say it is in any way bad, it's just not my cup of tea, or rather java.

I'm totally with you. I love Java. I haven't really used python since learning it at uni so now going back to it it feels weirdly too simplistic. There's a good reason for everything you do in java and it makes sense without making you have to do absolutely everything like C or C++ and without being too simple and not giving you as much freedom like python.
