First of all thank you for the humble response.

I mean yes in college for all the DS & Algorithm stuff I was using JAVA, and since last 8 months I'm using Python for all that Algorithms stuff for working on stats model and all. Being a fresher in the market, whenever I see someone online stating that they are Python Developer and working at big 4 like companies, they are working on really interesting and touching topics. So I dream to be a Python Developer in the long term.

But looking at the market for starting my first job it seems like I must have knowledge of both.

Still I'm grinding Python everyday by solving those algorithm problems on Hackerrank, Leetcode, just because I want to learn Machine Learning by the end of this year so I hope Python will help me more in that way.

Also one more question, Python and JS both are Interpreted languages, and whenever I see something is powerful is built with C++, do you think doing projects with C++ and learning that would help me understand working analogy and concepts better in all other frameworks/libraries or live production ccode
