RE: syntaxwise, what is the best programming language?

my biggest problem with python is the lack of switch statements and that's not the biggest deal
some people complain about whitespace but it's a lot better than curly bracket nesting hell, imo
also ffffuck whatever the hell visualbasic is. is it really necessary to declare variables like DIM X AS INTEGER = 3 instead of, i don't know, int x = 3 or simply x = 3? just all-around a weird, verbose language, i don't like it at all
c++ is my favorite language that isn't python, but if you prefer the syntax of c++ over python, you're just more used to it. python is easily the most readable language, and even with its limitations (c++ is definitely functionally better) it's an absolute joy to write in, imo
also also if anyone here prefers java over c++, please explain yourself
