Which language will be the best for software automation Ruby or Java?

Question

I am an automation engineering, I know Ruby and Java. As you know Ruby is easier compared to Java however there are very less jobs in Ruby. What would you recommend me? Should I keep my profile in Ruby or should I learn java in depth​?

Answer 1

automation =/= jobs

get java if you want a job hands down, but java is not known for automation. ruby is much better at that, being a scripting language. if you're worried about jobs while still wanting automation, learn python, as theres more jobs for that than ruby.

if you do learn java, try and learn kotlin next, it's the future java. you can have kotlin code inside java and vice versa.
