Plenty of useful software is written in Java. It's not going away. But if you want to move away from Java, then I'd suggest staying in programming, but learning Go. Plenty of enterprise software is now beginning to be written in Go, so having a background in it can generate initial interest from Hiring Managers. However, it is just that: initial interest. You still need to demonstrate general coding ability and capabilities that any good candidate would be expected to demonstrate, such as good communication, being personable, showing enthusiasm for the work, paying attention to detail etc in order to get ahead (it would also include a fair bit of moving on from dead-end jobs). All of that will not change simply by moving to Go programming or Machine Learning.
