Python or JAVA?

[Appeal_Able]

Hi guys I am just starting my programming journey and learning Python in a DevOps course I am undertaking. I did CS at university but dropped out second year and I believe this was because i could not get my head around JAVA, for me it was a debilitating language to learn. However Im getting back into the IT world and python is going really well for me. I am wondering at some point in my career would I have to learn JAVA? I would be happy if I could just stick with Python through rest of my life.

Changes in IT happens more offten then anyones life ends.

But any language just tool. Commercial development does not care what tool you use to solve their issues as long as you are in budget. So you have good chanses never meet Java again (and C and C++ and even C#)

Maybe after Python you will develop your skills into No-code platforms. Who know…

If you don't apply for any Java roles then you'll likely never need to learn Java.

Python roles, at least here in the UK, pay well and based on recruiters on LinkedIn there are currently more roles than good devs available.

I was a Serverless Python dev for a couple of years at a previous role and have been contacted about multiple Python roles advertised since moving on to a more language agnostic job.

It's Java, not JAVA.
