Just an opinion, I would lean towards py. As time goes on I think Java will slowly fade. It's also a lot easier to get going with py.

I work primarily in Typescript/Node and it’s great for setting up REST APIs. I’ve used Java/Spring too and I while I don’t mind the verbosity of Java most people complain about I totally agree that these types of functionalities are moving to cloud services/Lambda

If you want to get into systems development your best bet is probably Java. If you want to get into AI/ML or data analysis then you probably want to choose Python. I haven’t used Scala but at the end of the day these are just tools. Most people can pick up ~70% of the non-obscure programming languages relatively quickly and if you’re working on it in your job you can then take some additional time to learn some of the quirks and nuances of the language and it’s ecosystem

Although if your dead set on picking one, I would suggest Java simply because it will force you into learning classic OOP and will give you a different perspective on programming coming from JS

Depends. I personally like python, specifically Django.

In my organization projects backends are being developed using Java. Being frontend developer i wants to start backend development to get new opportunities. But what should i prefer? Either go with Java as more projects are in java or choose python for future growth.

Pick whichever one will give you immediate opportunities to use it first. In your case that sounds like Java.

Java is a commodity skill, not a differentiator if you are looking to stand out but used everywhere. Demand is falling because easy stuff is moving to cloud services and hard stuff is often better managed in a more specialized language. It’s good to know for going into Android development.

Python is great if you want to get into data analysis, it’s used heavily there. Like R it’s fast when working with large datasets.

.Net if you want to lean into the dying MS ecosystem, a lot of Azure is geared more towards it than other languages.

Node is hot. Learn it alongside TypeScript. It doesn't solve every problem, but the pay is insane. Remember, lots of colleges teach Java and Python. I can't name one that teaches Node.

Alternatively, C# is great, but there's a large market supply of C# developers.

Node. So hot right now. Node.

Depends what you are doing. Java, Scala, GO, Erlang or C#.

I don’t know that I would build a whole backend production system in python.

I’m a data engineer and work in both streaming and batch processing modes. I would say I do 99% of my production systems in Scala as there are multiple libraries that you can use to support these needs.
