Nowadays JavaScript became harder to learn because there is huge and impressive progress of this language in computer world. JavaScript started from just complementary to HTML as scripting language and now became more standalone language widely used in front-end and back-end programming. Java is easy to learn because it's based on widely known Object Oriented Programming paradigm. That paradigm is still the same and act's as Core of the language. This implies to other OOP oriented programming languages. Java language didn't change so much by time comparing to JavaScript progress history, because it's still widely used in Enterprise and some Legacy environment for being compatible. Choosing language is up to you, firstly think what background you have and which is most familiar to you. After that you can make decision what is easier to start. There are successors of programming languages (you may also think as much suitable) in certain areas (ML, AI, Big Data, IoT and etc) that should also be mentioned and considered. Learning new languages is so exciting!

We can not choose who is the best about your question Me personally like web developer i like java more than java JavaScript is a programming language that adds interactivity to your website (for example games, responses when buttons are pressed or data is entered in forms, dynamic styling, animation).

Java if you want to go for app development. JavaScript if you are more interested in web development or back end development. In terms of difficulty, I learned both JavaScript and java, I would tell that Java is harder to learn for total beginners in the world of programming. It all depends on you. If you have no idea which is your interest or passion, try both then. You will soon find out which is your interest.

JavaScript is useless if standalone, it’s power is amplified when mixed with html and css, so if you want to use a language in web development then go for JS. On other hand, Java is the top programming language concerning reputation, and that doesn’t come from nothing since it’s a vast language containing great capabilities as an object oriented language.

I think JavaScript is easier for the novice programmer to get things done quickly due to it's forgiving syntax and quick code, run, debug cycle in the browser.  After you've become an effective novice, I think Java will help you develop your skills more quickly due to it's stricter syntax requirements and simpler implementation of object oriented programming vs prototyping and encapsulation in JavaScript. Java's syntax requirements help enforce good practices (that can mostly be applied to JavaScript as well). Mastering either JavaScript or Java is a difficult task. While many of the principles and practices that you employ will apply equally to both languages, each language also has specific features and quirks that you need to learn in order to really comprehend the impact and effect of the code that you write.

I would say JS since the most popular language for front end and back end, but it depends on your goal. Figuring out what are your goals, and then choose the language.

It is very individual question,but I think, that Java is more harder than JS and you must to chose,what do you want to be. If you want to be web developer you need JS, if developer Java. Sorry for my English
