Is C++ still better than Java in Game Development?

i want to learn a game dev and i'm currently studying c++ and java. which one should I pick for game development? I know c++ is better in deleting objects than java since java still needs some garbage collection to free memory. is there anything else i need to know about?

I have the same questiin but with c# instead of c++. Seems like most ppl say java since most of the android apps are made in that. But now there is support for VStudios and other languages too.

From a critical perspective, despitr Java's enchancements and updates, in theory C++ will be faster (Note that I do not state how faster will it be), IF done professionaly. I trust my own ability to delete objects rather than some GC and Machine code still runs a bit faster than Java bytecode. Though Java is still multiplatforn whereas C++ needs to be compiled to several systems. Pick whichever you like.
