I hesitate to buy the Clean Code because it is JAVA centric and I'am more JavaScript fluent, what do you think ?

I am an Android/Java developer so for me the examples where not bothering me but I can see you point.
The examples itself are written in Java but still they are very general and not with a lot of Java functions, you can easily see what is happening by reading the variable and function names. Also with each example there is always a good explanation what is happening, why it is bad code, what he refactored and so on.
So even though the examples might sometimes be harder to follow for you I think you can still get a lot of useful tips from this book about refactoring, code styles, naming, ... I think especially the first ~half, after that it gets a little more technical but can still be useful .
