That's really cool. And I totally agree on all points. Java is a great choice career-wise because it's in very high demand. It is also a pretty simple language and not overly loaded with features -- which to some might seem as a shortcoming compared to other languages -- but personally, I think that its simplicity is one of the language's biggest strengths. Good luck in all endeavors!

Thank you. I think the simplicity is part of what draws me. In a lot of ways JavaScript was very complicated, and the lack of exercises in 99.9% of JavaScript learning material aimed at completely new people is more a hindrance than anything. Java is definitely more my speed, and having multiple opportunities to practice has made it a much better experience.
