Starting java, how long till u think to learn another language? 2 years? Python or SQL would be next...

any other languages you know? Is java the first time you are exposed to a programming language? will you be writing in java 8 hours a day 40 hours a week in a professional environment? Are you good at problem solving? Too many variables, no idea how long it will take you. Could be 6 months, could take 4 years.

Gotchya thanks.... and yes java is my first pretty much
Probably spending 2-6 hours per day....and yes i'm good at problem solving, i think

Most recent was Go, took me about 2 days to be comfortable and about a week before i stopped consulting google for basic language quirks

map[string]interface{} is all i see now xd

Once you learn one language well the next ones are easy. Really easy.

Unless it's a different paradigm, like going from a OOP language to a functional language that might take more effort.

Aim for quality, not quantity. Not how many you know but how well you know them.

I know (the basics of) more languages than I will even need to use. Mostly because usually, other languages are better or more fitting for a particular task.

You might want to just glimpse over languages to see what kind of syntax exists out there, and I would suggest to start learning a language if you have a particular task in mind which warrants that language; or an end-goal in mind, like a job at a particular company or in a particular field.

I think python next is a good call.

Don't even worry about SQL; it's basically English. You will only be using a handful of lines per project, if you use a database to store data. It is only used to obtain data from a database or modify it.

OOP and functional programming are not mutually exclusive
