Disagree on this one, even though I can see where you are coming from. I first learnt programming in Java, and it gave me massive problems to understand the structure and typings. Obviously Java isn't the most beautiful language anyways, but once I picked up python it started to click for me on how to solve problems, because I didn't have to think about that many things. I could just go for it. Yes, my code was messy in the beginning, but I wasn't working on any important projects. It was just for fun.
So I think learning how to solve problems is as important as writing clean code. And python really helped me with that.
I am curious how this will turn out. Germany is not known for state driven digital innovation and this is a huge project.
Even though I am highly sceptic, I hope they finally manage to get something going because Germany and whole Europe needs more independence from US hyperscalers.
I fear this will die in good old German bureaucracy though.
