I just finished high school and my exams, and I'm planning to attend a university for Computer Science. To get ahead, I'm thinking about learning some programming languages now. I've dabbled in Python during high school and found it interesting. I'm also intrigued by AI and ML, which I believe require Python. However, I heard my college will focus on Java programming. I'm confused about whether I should stick with Python, switch to Java or C++, especially since I've seen opinions suggesting those languages are preferred by employers. What would be the best choice for me to learn right now?

Don’t stress too much about the decision! Picking one language doesn’t lock you in for life. Once you get a grip on one language, picking up others becomes much easier since they often share similar concepts. Most developers know multiple languages. If you’re already familiar with Python, it’s a great choice to continue with, especially if you’re interested in AI and ML. At the same time, consider the language your university will teach to give you a head start. You might also want to think about a project you’d like to create and learn the language that best fits that. You’ve got time, so explore!
Yeah, I’ll keep these tips in mind. Thanks for your help!
