😀 very subjective to the individual and what they want to do as a career. Fyi: Not sure this question will get factual responses. Will get more opinions than facts. But I suppose this is what you want, yes?

Of course it's java. Sure, complexity errors might occur but those can be detected easily using programs such as checkamrx or others. But it's the most useful one, a lot of things are possible to build with java. good luck.

OK. you are trying to change careers. The universe of programming languages is vast. Let me show you some landmarks. C++ and Java and perhaps C# are probably the safest bets. Not just the languages, their tooling, eco systems, building, testing and deployment procedures. From here on when I mention a language, be clear that all these go with it. Now, these languages are what COBOL was in it's day. Roughly. Programmers have produced mountains and oceans worth code. They are getting close to retirement en masse. This means, there is. very good chance that next generation programmers who can do maintenance work in these languages will be golden after say, a couple of decades now. Python, Kotlin, Clojure, go. These are the languages, when turned into people, are in their late 20s to early 30s. A massive influx of programmers will be entering these as young and green ones. This means more supply than demand. So, salaries can be mediocre. But jobs will be easy to find. Rust, Haskell, C, various lisps. These are superpowers. These allow one man shows. C is exception in that you will first write yourself a C++ or lisp before attacking the real problems. But look at GCC, Linux kernel, Emacs, vim and other greats. they all started out as a c program by a kickass hacker. Anyway, these languages will have fewer jobs and stiff challenge for job seekers as well as recruiters. Salary will consequently be better than the previous class. Now for outliers. Web languages, SQL. There are many attempts to tame the JavaScript beast. Web assembly is the new kid on the block. These will be used wherever you go. If no new programmers enter JavaScript, it can easily join the ranks of Java, C++ and C#. Now, for you. List out decent job search engines. Study the number of jobs, locations, salaries and so on for these languages. You will be better off.
