Java and C are neither simpler nor easier than Python where the rubber meets the road: making the computer do something you want it to do. Not even close. Java requires a fair amount of arcana just to get started (relative to python) and C is a simple language which pushes all the complexity onto the programmer. Java, like python, has some really deep rabbit holes when you dig into internals, and C has so much complexity in the necessary tooling.

I think Go is possibly simpler than Python. The syntax is smaller, no method overriding, and does not really have internals to the same depth as a VM language.
