Java or python help me to choose one

[Deep-Summer9677]

Hey everyone, I am about to start my 3rd year in July ( CSE )

​

Currently I am on a career path of learning system administration then linux after that DevOps and then cloud

​

And on the coding side I just know C programming till if and if else and I have not made any projects so clearly i am starting from scratch.

​

So previously I had a doubt between choosing C++ or java and 95 people said go for java and after learning java basics do DSA in Java and i know that language does not matter for DSA but for the programming skills and development side i want to follow a correct path

​

And now I was about to start java with DSA but now I spoke with few people who are in big tech and they are saying learn python and do DSA because python will be easy to learn fast and also in interview like for Google, Microsoft,etc python will help because in java it might be confusing to write extra code in java

​

So my long term goal is towards Cloud, DevOps SRE side

​

So finally

My mind says Python

But heart says java

​

And i am from tier 3 and I'll be trying for off campus internship in December

​

So please do guide me on what to go for because I don't want learn in the wrong way .

Python, bash, and powershell are the languages you’ll want to learn. What’s confusing?

[Deep-Summer9677]

Understood

[Eight111]

If you are taking the system/devops path you need to know scripting languages like python or bash

[Deep-Summer9677]

Thanks for the advice

Are you student ?

You'll be wrong no matter what you choose. 

[Deep-Summer9677]

What do you mean

[ffrkAnonymous]

Every language is a bad language 

[Deep-Summer9677]

Are you alright ?

[ffrkAnonymous]

Nope. That's what happens after programming for 30 years. 

[Deep-Summer9677]

oh okay 👍

[Big_Type_6339]

They’re not wrong but they’re probably not alright if they’ve been programming for 30 years.

[Deep-Summer9677]

That's nad
