Dogmatist programmers are really insecure about their needlessly complicated syntaxes and can't see the merits of both Python and [insert random uncarefully-designed C-derived language name here]
Python is translated to bytecode interpreted by C code in the case of CPython. C is translated to Assembly, which is translated to machine code. So maybe use Codon? It's a Python-like language that's normally compiled rather than interpreted. Many developers who start with C get confused about what pointers do, yet those who start with Assembly rarely ever find themselves in that situation. So really, we all should start with Assembly? Or maybe we should start with machine code to never get confused about opcodes? What even is the point you're making? You're just regurgitating a point said by many that makes no sense.
Yes. Although be careful with the wording here, because languages basically are abstractions in and of themselves.
However, again, yes, requiring the entry point of the program to be defined in a function defined in a class (a la old Java), vs. code entirely constituent of the entry point being valid syntax in a given language (a la Python), absolutely is an arbitrary choice.
