3,186 PointsJava or Python? For full stack development?
I am just a C++ dude and I was just wondering if I wanted to be a full Stack developer what should I learn Java or Python? People I have talked to say that java takes a bit too much code to do the same thing in Python but then Java is more powerful. i really am pretty confused. Anyone to enlighten me?

6,745 PointsThrough my research, I've found companies searching more for Java than Python, especially in full-stack, but it's a close call. They pretty much want everything. If you already know C++, I understand that Java is much easier to learn than someone starting from scratch, like me.
Also, since you know C++, I think you'll pick up Python really easily.

3,186 PointsI already know bit of Java and Python. But now that I really want to excel, I gotta pick. Java is pretty intimidating (the Advanced Java). Thanks for the help @Christine Rose.
