I'd recommend java over skript. I used to be one of the top skripters in the community until I learned java. I noticed an extreme improvement in performance.
A list of issues I personally had with skript
String parsing is *extremely* slow. What takes skript 0.5s takes me less then 0.001s in java. While also using up a full CPU core.
Memory leaks. All over the place. Some versions don't have these issues but you'll be spending a lot of time finding the proper versions. I used to keep a folder of them all for easy access but most of the stable versions are no longer maintained.
Functions leak. Literally. The more I coded with functions, the buggier everything got. I had a few functions to create items and so many times I would run the function to give them gunpowder with a specific name. And they'd get the item from another function entirely. I consulted with several devs and spent 72h+ debugging. It was not an issue with my code.
It's just not scalable, not compared to java. I coded an entire Prison Core that was more efficient then using pre-made plugins. However, when I switched to java I was able to get over a 100x increase in performance.
However, if you plan to stick with skript. Just make sure you're not working with a fool. Properly applied, skript can be very powerful. But used wrongly, it can create extreme bugs and lag/cpu issues. However the same can be said for java, java is significantly less worrysome and much harder to botch. I've also never had functions leak, or memory leaks that weren't my fault with it. So it gives more control to the developer as well.
Skript.. PLEASE NO!! Java is soo much better. Skript makes you look like a retard
