Does it really make sense to learn Java in 2026?

Hello, I started learning programming two years ago with Java.

Do you think it still makes sense to study Java in 2026?

With modern and flexible languages like JavaScript for web development, and Python covering a wide range of use cases, there seem to be more versatile options available.

If I could go back, I would probably start directly with Python.

In my opinion, Java might significantly decline over the next five years.

I'd like to hear your opinion.
