Should I skip studying Java?

I'm currently an IA student and I'm interested in web dev, mobile apps and computers apps but I have seen there are new ways for example for Android/iOS app dev you can use Flutter instead of Java, in computer apps C++/C can be used aswell. All these news of coding offer a way to avoid the headache caused by Java, what do you guys recommend me?

Indeed Java has its place in the industry and will remain for quite a few years. But in my opinion Java has nothing that really stands out that would make it better than other languages. Kotlin e.g. will likely overtake the Android App market soon. Rust might replace Java in certain fields as well because it doesn't require manual memory management like Java but doesn't need a garbage collection, so it runs as fast as C/C++. But anyway Java is still a decent choice to learn, but it will slowly loose its importance and is a rather boring language to learn. P. S. you mentioned web development, so you will need JavaScript for that or maybe Rust if you want to go for better performance.
