Taking into account all indexes, one can see the undisputed leaders - Python and Java. These two languages ​​have held the lead for many years, are developers' favorites, and are both object-oriented programming languages. Python is used as the main language by such technological giants as Netflix, Facebook, and Khan Academy, while Java is chosen by Airbnb, Google, Netflix, Instagram, Uber, Amazon, and Spotify.

Java should be chosen by those who are interested in:

  • the field of DevOps;
  • virtual reality;
  • big data;
  • mobile chatbots and integration.

Python is used both in simple scenarios and in the development of web applications or artificial intelligence. This language is most often found in developer vacancies, so it is not the best option for starting a career in IT.

The main thing that a young specialist should understand is that knowing one language does not guarantee successful employment. But it is better to lay the foundations for a successful career with proven solutions.
