    Possibly a better question is "I have task XYZ at hand, which language(s)
    are best suited to do this?"

    "Small PC applications" might be better suited for C++ or some other native
    compiler (Delphi) which doesn't have the overhead of a Virtual Machine.

    Please be more specific. If you just want to learn Java, fine.
