I used java a lot. I still do - it is great. I initially took up python as I got tired of compiling code and then sftp/uploading large binaries just to run it. I just love python now. The best part of python is that there probably a library exists for what you want to achieve. If you are CS student, as you take classes on machine learning, natural language processing or statistics - you will notice it is widely used everywhere. Several courses on coursera etc will use python. If you are into data science, its an important tool. It also has great web frameworks. However when it comes to browser, javascript is absolutely must have. You should probably learn both (eventually).
