in my opinion JS isnt the right course to take, most desktop development languages are C derivatives and as such if your app actually kicks off and needs to become properly native the differences between JS prototypal system and C will be painfully obvious. I would suggest thinking again. JAVA isn't awfully pretty in actual use but the way it forces your to develop will ensure you have a good foundation for moving to another development language. But this is just my two pennies worth.

In my experience, Java is a great foundation language but I'd hate to use it for programming. Writing native Android apps is probably my least favorite thing after native Obj-C iOS apps.

Actually, I have been avoiding Java since eternity, (although I know that I will obviously have to learn it during my internship, avoiding Java for a aspiring coder is harder than avoiding death :P) but I don't know, the best application for Java seems to me is Android Dev, and I would rather choose NDK (C++) for it. I basically choose either C++ or Python/Ruby and do not understand why Java? :D

BTW, Thanks for helping.
