Thanks for the answers. I hear the claim that it is easier to get results in Python.
For the level of this class, I have my doubts because I do not want to program games or UIs, nor do machine learning. This is for students in math taking the basic first-semester classes (I am a math prof at the University of Eichstätt). The course covers basic programming techniques like data types, loops, recursion, arrays, objects with examples like sorting, etc. However, I will recheck some of the aims and whether or not they are really easier in Python, both to grasp and to do.
Here are some of the more advanced examples that students might learn: Handle binary trees, learn and try sorting algorithms, read data from files, and handle them with basic statistics, maybe create a simple plot and a simple window interface.
