Is Java a valuable skill to learn? Or is it more on the legacy end and on its way out?

What is the Java programming language?

Java is an object-oriented language similar to C++, but simplified to eliminate language features that cause common programming errors. Java source code files (files with a .java extension) are compiled into a format called bytecode (files with a .class extension), which can then be executed by a Java interpreter.

Too much around for it to be retired, you should know it but most people know more than one language. It's all about knowing what you need to know for the task at hand.

It's totally on its way out. You should learn Fortran.

IMO if you're wanting to learn an OOP language C# is so much easier. For a functional language, Python is very valuable. Also SQL. But I just have a very low opinion of Java due to its complicated nature.

First I would ask why do you want to learn Java? Unless you work in tech I can't imagine you would need it for anything. What was more valuable for me when learning Java was the development of the logical thinking skills that go hand in hand with programming. If that's what you're looking for I'd go with Python or Swift, depending on what your looking to do.

Jk.. depends on your current profile. What kind of projects do you work on

@OP, assuming you want to learn how to program., The syntax should be the least of your concerns. If you can code in one OOP programming language you shouldn't have trouble picking up another one. The key is to improve problem solving skills. Learn algorithms instead and you'll be fine

Java is very far away from being on it's way out.
