I am currently introducing myself to programming and would love to build apps for a piece of hardware like that. Thanks

My guess would be Java, since that's what Android apps are built from. They just had a developer event for Google Glass, but there are NDA's, so you won't get any info from anyone who attended.

In principle, you could write in any language, but you need to realize that the Google Glass system has multiple aspects -- the local code, and the code that provides content from a distant server. The latter aspect has more flexibility as to language.

Given that, it might be better to focus on grasping the basic of programming before planning any specific application of that skill in the future.
