> Far simpler to reason about than Java.

Strong disagreement. Explicit types make reasoning about Java much easier, especially when you are in an unfamiliar codebase.

Python is not quite the 'write-only' language of Perl, but it is a lot easier to write it than it is to read it.

Python is getting typescript like typing support. Slowly, yes, but way better than Java’s type system.
