Easy to read? What? Let me do a simple comparison. Let's say there's a site, ycombinator.com, that wants to ban anyone who posts "First post!" on a story. Here is what the python code would look like:

  if "first post!" in comment.text.lower():
      comment.user.ban()

  public static void class PostPunisher extends PostHandler raises Exception {
    public void PostPostHook(Comment comment) {
      if (comment.text.to_string().to_lowercase().contains_substring("first post!")) {
        comment.User.Banner.execute();
      }
    }
  }
