Depends entirely what tests you're automating. Java codebase? Probably Java tests too. Anything web? Tests will be JS too, etc.

    Web testing is also done in python. Selenium has support in all major Python test frameworks. I've done SE-only tests in Robot, hybrid SE/Python using BDD with Behave, etc.

    Unless I'm testing a language-specific API, I'm probably going to use Python...

    I'm guessing that's because you're a python developer though. If you're a frontend developer who knows JS then why wouldn't you use that for your tests? (Apart from the fact that JS is horrible, but you've already accepted that suffering by becoming a web dev)
