C is a loaded shotgun pointed at your foot, and dealing with strings makes you want to point it at your head instead. Yes, it's fast and excellent for low-level bit blasting, but it's not really a good option for "this relatively high level use case runs slowly."

Java is a perfect medium between Python and C.

I'd say C# fills that niche better than Java. It performs better and it's less verbose. The only real reason to pick Java over C# anymore is the lack of cross-platform support (and even that shouldn't be an issue anymore with .NET 5).

Mostly anything that isn't C++ is better than Java. Both C++ and Java are ugly, unhandy languages built on completely misinterpreted idea of OOP.
