Agreed Java is simply far too complex a language and ecosystem to hold in

Really? What do you NEED to learn for Java that you don't need to learn
for other languages? public static void main(String[] args)?
Loops, if statements, data types, string processing are things you need
to learn for all languages. I/O is useful (Rexx EXECIO isn't exactly
intuitive).
There are lots of add-ons, but you learn them (or just reference the
details) if you need them. You still need to install add-ons and learn
extra functionality for Python. Packages providing additional
functionality are a good thing generally.
The Twilio Python sample looks very similar to the Java version:
https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/quickstart/python#send-an-sms-using-twilio
I ran the Java version on z/OS by uploading the Twilio
jar-with-dependencies and running the sample under BPXBATCH. Is Python
easier???
