📊[POLL]As a Java developer, which skill should you learn next? JVM/ NOTJVM/ FRONT/ DEPENDS
Java devs, if you had to learn one next language, where would you invest your time?
🔸 JVM language (Kotlin/Scala) — Smoothest learning curve from Java, strong interoperability, and great for modern Spring/functional patterns. Helps you go deeper on the platform you already know.
🔸 Other backend (not JVM) — Think Go, Rust, .NET, Python. Broadens your mental models (concurrency, memory, ecosystems) and makes you more versatile across stacks and teams.
🔸 Frontend (TypeScript/React) — Empowers you to ship end-to-end features, collaborate tighter with frontend teams, and understand user-facing performance & UX constraints. Great for full-stack leverage.
🔸 It depends 🤷. — Context matters: team needs, product roadmap, your career goals (architect path vs. product ownership vs. platform engineering), and the kinds of systems you want to build.
“APIs should be easy to use and hard to misuse.” — Joshua Bloch, author of Effective Java
