If you're just concerned about employment then you'll probably be fine with java (maybe go in the future). If you're looking for self-improvement then its always a good idea to learn a new language, especially if it does something different like Rust's borrow checker. Outside of that, I also used to do all my hobby code in C++ and after learning Rust I'm never going back to C++.

>maybe go in the future

Go is not going to replace Java in the future. For a language which cannot even lock dependencies to a version, people sure like to pretend it is the holy grail because Google made it.
