I have done my ms in analytics and has decent understanding of python for data analysis.

But i am considering moving to swe path and currently working on java/oops concepts.

For backend roles in java world i need to learn spring boot

But I am reading a lot of negativity that it is dying and taken over by python/js/go specific stacks.

Is it still worth learning and finding a career in?

      Spring in action? And maybe their own guides or docs. That's the fastest way to learn.

    Java is verbose and one should definitely learn the language before jumping onto the slacks like python etc.

      Ok!!
      With lombok and mapstruct and some spring modules api building in Java feels much easier and faster

      Yes! What is lacks though is the availability of AI moduels wherein python is a clear winner if you just want to get started with something
