My only experience of the languages on your list is Java.  In some
fundamental way I think it is easier. The do and don'ts are more clearly
defined. In a relatively short amount of time I fellt that I had  learned
Java, to the extent I was interested in learning Java.

I am not there yet with Python.

Which I find more intriguing. more empowering, more complex and much more
fun.
