Java is a very far from dead language, and the recent updates with JDK 16 onwards have given new life to it. Java and the JVM, aided and enhanced by Kotlin and Scala, will be around for some time yet.
Python has a large fanbase and is a particularly lovely language to use, and has a long journey to travel yet.

Many people like to say that C# is "Java done right" and, while it is indeed a nice language, I still prefer Java to it.

There are some interesting languages which I want to do more work with in the near future, Python being one of them, the others being Rust, Nim, Scala, and R.

Software Development really is one of the most interesting careers available, and we even have Miss Universe in our ranks!
