Yep, Java sucks, get over it. Ronald cannot help taking a cheap shot.  
And no offense to COBOL either :P

But back to the topic at hand... if Java sucks, square brackets scare  
you, and COBOL is not your cup of tea, then... try Lua, a friendly  
little scripting language:

iPhone friendly as well:
"Corona SDK for iPhone App Development"

On a lighter note:

"Java would be Fundamentalist Christianity - it's theoretically based  
on C, but it voids so many of the old laws that it doesn't feel like  
the original at all. Instead, it adds its own set of rigid rules,  
which its followers believe to be far superior to the original. Not  
only are they certain that it's the best language in the world, but  
they're willing to burn those who disagree at the stake."
