I'll admit I have a bit of a bias towards java because I want to develop 2D games for browser and mobile (as they dont get much attention if any on actual consoles)
I'd say the 3 important things here in order of importance are, do you need the absolute efficiency? and how fast do you want to develop? which would you prefer to develop with?
if you don't need full on efficiency then high level languages / libraries hold no problem to use, if you don't need to develop lightening fast then not using high level languages / libraries is also a non-issue, if you'd rather develop with a specific language / library and are not limited by the first 2 factors then go ahead.
That said if you want to expand into greater projects C++ is a definite game changer and will give you a completely new perspective on programming, often for the better.
