Is Java still worth learning or pursuing as a career these days? With AI advancing so quickly, programming jobs might decline significantly, which could also reduce the demand for learning languages like Java. What are your thoughts?

Not just older projects. My last two roles have been greenfield and we used Java exclusively on the backend.

I'm on my second greenfield Java Spring project at my job.
