What is the purpose of a particular programming language?

Question

Python

Good day! After much thought about the meaning of life and other eternal questions, I decided that my next activity would be related to the IT industry. Which direction exactly? It is difficult to say, it is necessary to try many different things in order to decide, to make the final (of course, focusing on external conditions) choice.
After 3 years of study at the university, I realized that I know nothing and, in fact, I can’t do anything. There is little knowledge of c / c ++, c #, html, css, which can hardly be called even basic.
I decided to start my acquaintance with programming again, from scratch. Immediately there was a problem of choosing a YP. Of course, you first need to decide on the goal, the tasks that need to be solved by this PL, but it is difficult to say something specific.
What I want from JP:
- relevance
- ample opportunities for self -development
- the suitability of the acquired skills for subsequent "training"
- demand in the labor market
- this demand was well paid.
In order to make it easier to decide, I decided to approach the problem from the reverse side, to find out for what purposes it is best suited, which EP? In what realities each of them is most in demand?
With web development, I decided to wait a little, start with something non-specific, more universal, so to speak. The choice fell on python and java .
Plus python - ease of learning and non-attachment to any paradigm
Plus java - great demand in the labor market and application development for android.
Which one do you think is more suitable for my non-specific purposes?

Answer 1

Python followed by C/C++.
Both pay very well if they can write something more than a static django site.
With web development, they decided to wait in vain - much more web developers are now required.
Java is a disastrous long journey with low chances of finding a job at the start (but a good salary later, but you just have to live to see it).

Answer 2

Ceteris paribus, I would choose python (I work on it myself), it has its own incidents, but it’s easier and more pleasant to write on it (my personal opinion) than on the same Java, Java drives you too much into the frame ...
