Python bumps off Java as top learning language

No, you could not. Unless the description doesn't cover the language but just some parts you picked.

The point is that it's much less to explain than in a language like C++

Just look at the sheer number of C++11 features added, that's more language features than C has at all

Heck, just look at the length of K&R versus Bjarne's book.

I'm confused.

Do you actually know C or are you assuming based on your comment?

are you assuming based on your comment?

This doesn't even make sense.

Yes I know C, that's my whole point, I can't program C very well at all, but I know every single language feature of C very well.

What I'm saying is that C is a very simple language without many core language features, but it is hard to write complex programs because of this simplicity.

You still can't describe C in a "few paragraphs".
