Realistically if they are a Java shop, they are going to want a 100% Java developer. It is hard to make the case that you are strong in both languages. While it might be true, people will still think the developer has split their time between them and not have the depth they are looking for. This is probably not reality, but to hiring and projects managers, who make the decisions usually, they will see it another way. There are many reasons why people are turned down for a job. This is one reason where I would be happy that I didn't go a lot further in the process and have more invested in trying to get hired.
