I'm leaning towards Python because it seems a bit more beginner-friendly, but is Java more useful in the long run, especially for getting a job?

Doesn't matter, just master the chosen language and you will find a job, if you can't master it then GL finding a job

You'd need to stick with Java for making scripts for OSbot since it’s built for Old School RuneScape, which is Java-based. Python’s great and all, but for OSbot scripting, Java's your go-to. So if your main goal is OSbot scripts, start with Java. If you're interested in general scripting and automation, Python's awesome, but it won't help with OSbot.

Now I'm curious, could you use Jython and have osbot as an export so you can use the OSBOT api on your python script, through a java class you can run jython and have a script manifest to start your script with the common methods used the python interpreter will execute the scripts functions through those methods?

I'm not sure how this works under the hood but if it loads the files as an input stream that's inside the jar OSBot may throw some errors with that I've been having trouble loading anything as a resource...

 

for OSBot, just javascript. but python and javascript can both be used, even interchangeably, for external projects such as creating bots for other systems. ie: a crypto trading bot.

You'll need Java for OSbot scripting since it's built on Java. But you can use Jython to write scripts in Python that run on the Java platform. It's a bit of a workaround, but it's doable.
