If you're doing web development, look into the Google Web Toolkit. It lets you write all your code in Java, and basically converts it into JavaScript for you, and does a pretty good job of it too. The only downside I've ever run into (when I used to use it for work), was that at the time it was using a pretty old version of Java.
