My other language of heavy use is Python. Maybe not writing a Python script from scratch, but at least I can modify a Python script in some basic editor (e.g. GitHub web UI). The same thing will be more difficult in Java.

I cannot judge about Rust and C++ which are mentioned here. I also write some Scala and it is not far from Java in that manner.

I agree, writing Python is easier without an editor than writing Java, Scala, Kotlin, Rust or C++.

This said, Python is often completely unsuitable for jobs solved by Java, Scala, Kotlin, Rust or C++. So I don't think it is a fair comparison.
