Ask HN: Which complied language to learn?

I almost said Java because it fits most requirements perfectly, but requirement no. 5 makes it much harder to recommend it over C++. I think that developing in Java without an IDE can be a pain...

You love VIM, that's great. But do you hate IDEs? if the answer is no, I recommend trying it...

Is there something like LPHTW[1] for Java? I've owned a book called "Core Java by Horstmann" and the sheer size of the book is scary. Can you suggest some good resources that can I get up to speed with?

Thanks

I don't know about online tutorials, but I do recommend the book Head First Java
