If you want confidence in the future, then there is nothing better than Java. With a very high probability, for the next 50 years, there will be a demand for Javist, and Javista will have high salaries.

Answer 2

Is it worth learning java in 2019

undoubtedly
in my experience, yes... it's better to start with typed languages.
JS is a relatively complex language (if not to judge the level of Vanilla & Jquery), but a rather ugly language. Desktop applications (ElectronJS) are written on it. For example, skype, postman, etc., it is one of the basic web programming languages, you can write a backend on it on a node, you can write applications for android, write games, etc. But in principle, all of the above can be implemented in Java.
