I agree that Java makes reading hard with regard to the semantics and unnecessary data structures for simple things like anonymous functions. I would point to Python, which is semantically the easiest language to learn. It's still possible to write illegible code (primarily due to the lack of indicator of argument and returns types and, of course, bizarre variable names).
