"Easy" is relative. Go has been one of the easier languages to pick up and...go. I can read most go code that isn't my own without too much trouble. Modern java is also good in this regard, and has the added advantage of so many existing libraries.

Every language has warts and tradeoffs, many which have nothing to do with the language itself. Can it be hired for? Is is supported? What's the ecosystem like? How easily can it be deployed in a container?
