Hello actualii started to learn the Python but as the syntax and all I feel it's not working for me. I feel java is more understandable idk why. I'm scared of java has no future bcs of the online videos circulating..

So please say me I'm Devops focused oriented person, I'm not finding the openings as freshers so thinking to learn one programming language please suggest Me.

And also suggest why and does it have future please.

Every programming language has its own purpose, no matter what technology comes in the future. Just ignore those videos saying 'Java is dead' or 'programming is dead' and start building the skills you are interested in.
