I would take JavaScript off the list as well, leaving only Python. JavaScript was a great language for beginners in 2011. Now the typical JavaScript toolchain is so convoluted (node, webpack, framework of the week, linter, tester, CSS preprocessor, browser shims, 25+ npm packages), even very experienced devs struggle with it.

Python, as far as I can tell, has avoided most of that.
