3.web 2.0 site
4.create a 3d game
5.desktop applications

1.to get into mobile applications for android
Android runs Java bytecode (on their Dalvik virtual machine), so Java would be the right choice here.


2.ai/machine learning programming
3.web 2.0 site
Both Java and Python are suitable for this.


4.create a 3d game
This is possible in Java and probably also in Python, but if you really want to create a high-performance 3D game then C++ would probably the language of choice.


5.desktop applications
Python is very popular for desktop applications on Ubuntu.

why not both ?

When you unite python with java then you have JYTHON.

Enjoy !

no one language can fit all projects. learn a few and apply them where suitable. most importantly though learn data structures and algorithms.
