Maybe eclipse is too much IDE. Maybe a advanced editors like VS Code hit the sweet point. The tasks infrastructure there - as bad as it is - will force you to understand details. It also has a terminal. I do not understand the Java bashing. Python is nice, but it is an interpreter, does not compile, link or create executables. It misses so much in the compilation chain that it is neither a good language in the regard of this post. C++ has all, but well, editors are crappy and pointers for a first lesson student are hard.
