C or C++, which is better to learn and improve upon for a goal of

99.9% of linux drivers are written in C. Of user space tools,
the majority of then are written in C. However, most KDE programs
are written in C++.

So C is probably the most useful to learn unless you will mainly
be contributing to KDE.

Java sucks. C sucks slightly less so, but only because it makes
no pretense at all about being a high level language.
