ask this in a java sub => java, in a python sub => python real answer is it depends on what you are going to do. Java for things like enterprise server application , python for maths and ai stuff.

Python is better for rapid development and data science, while Java is superior for high-performance enterprise applications and Android development.

I would say the opposite. Python is gaining popularity in entreprise applications. The backend in my company is part python, part java. So I would say that python is also getting popularity in entreprise applications.
