How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

The truth is the edge will not be awarded me for learning Java in my current position no. Nor am I really interested in oop, however In all of my enterprise jobs, Java has been a factor. So is it reasonable to assume that the trend will continue for the foreseeable future, who's to say. In truth I probably just want to do something weird with Java such as make it run in the browser... Again 😹
Learn Kotlin instead then. It's better than Java and you can run it in the browser just fine ☺️ And you can even mix it with Java if you really have to to.

I'm am interested in kotlin for a few reasons come to think of it. Im comfortable in typescript which has a similar syntax. Kotlin upon last inspection had a js transpiler, what I'm hoping it can do now is compile to webassembly. Let the reaserch begin.

Yep, Kotlin can transpile to JS or WASM, can run on mobile and native. And when you start counting with graalvm.org/ the interoperation with other languages (Python, C, JS, ...) through Truffle gives you real superpowers. They are edge tech. now but I believe it's worth exploring. You can always fallback to just Kotlin on backend and mobile where is it pretty mature.

Kotlins native compiler is based on llvm so that's a green light. 🥦
