I'm most comfortable with Java, but that's about the worst choice, because

• The stuff I'm doing is fairly low-level, and while I could just simulate it with arrays of booleans, it feels wrong. I don't know if it's actually less efficient, but it feels like it is.
  
• Java's input/output/window system is hell, and windows and key presses are very important in what I'm planning
  

I really wish Java wasn't my first language, because it really is just awful.

edit:
The main criteria I need are:

• Objects being a thing
  
• Really, really fast boolean operations
  
• Access to keystrokes
  
• Easy access to graphics
  

So far, Python is looking like my best option.
