Well, "it depends" of course, on what you're doing, why, etc., etc.  But VTK is written in C++, support for other languages is well-supported but is an extra layer.  Similarly, Java has fallen out of favour with Apple, and not included by default anymore.  Using a 3rd party Java (7) and 3rd party development environment (Eclipse) are likely to be less smooth than using OS vendor supplied languages (C/C++/Obj-C) and tools (ie Xcode).  But it all depends.  YMMV.

Cheers,
