Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I think I'm going to learn Java!

I strongly suggest you take up Python, something I would recommend to anyone just taking up a new scripting language. It's a much easier and cleaner language than Java.

You can get the Enthought edition with the best editors and most to all of the popular packages in one install (though a lot are mathematical tools).
