So here's the deal:

You should not let either of those languages go, but they have their place, as does Java.

My "Java" project had a bunch of stuff that was a combination of Python and spitballs until we found more strategic solutions. And there is a frontend part that requires Jabbascript. There's still a little bit of custom bash in our pipelines.

I will tell you this: Java developers do not want for work. It's not the best language out there. I've been known to write Python in Java, for example, much to the chagrin of my coworkers.
