So I'm a busy guy that reads pretty fast and have had high speed internet connections for a long time.

Quick Google of Java vs C++ gets "About 39,500,000 results" so I've clearly only read the tip of the iceburg.

As a current meche student, id say go with java. im taking a class in c right now, and its not all that bad, but learning pointers took me and most of my class quite awhile, and to be honest they still confuse me sometimes. i took java last semester, and had no difficulty with anything we did in that course. now this is just my viewpoint from an outside-frc stance, but i still like java more. but as has been said before, go with what you are more comfortable with, thats going to make the biggest difference. dont waste time to learn something you dont have to.

Not sure what you intended to say, but in my mind, it is far better to learn about several approaches and make an informed decision, than to assume what you already understand is best.
