Hi Pedro,

learn Python?
If you ever want to work on the ImageJ source code
<
http://imagej.net/Source_code>, you should learn Java. It's also a good
choice if you're going to be writing plugins that provide extensible
functionality you expect others to consume and build off.
Python scripting <
http://imagej.net/Jython_Scripting> can lead to more
succinct implementations, which can be rapidly developed and easier to
understand.
Since you can choose either, it could be worth spending a little time on
tutorials for both languages to see if either "feels" like a better fit to
you (e.g., I personally started by learning BASIC and then C.. but things
never really clicked until I wrote Java code).
Hope that helps.
Best,
Mark
