What is the best language to learn for test automation?

Question

Software testing

Hello everyone!)
I was very interested in the direction of testing in the field of IT.
I seriously thought about what kind of PL to study to automate "tests".
Is it true that "Java" in testing is many times more in demand than "Python" and it will be easier to find a job after studying "Java"?

Answer 1

As noted above, automation is different:
If you want to automate mobile phones, then there is swift and kotlin
For browser automation: better js and some cypress - to close the automation to the maximum and uniformly, both with mocks and without them
If there is api automation, then I would took Python - the tools allow you to do a lot and quite cheaply in terms of development time, you can also use it for browser automation
For performance testing: I use scala and gatling - well, here you can look in different directions.
