Reason behind using easy programming language in Clash of Code

I used to code in Python in Clash of Code. Nowadays, I want to learn C++, so I started to code in Clash of Code. I have noticed that participants of COC rarely code in C/C++ rather they use easy programming languages like python, java etc. Can you give some reasons for it?

Is the reason only the difficulty level of the language?

Takes too much time and too much letters so it’s automatically unusable in all modes

You can use c/c++ in reverse and classical mode. It is what i do.
But not in golf because python,ruby,perl and many others are with less characters (but not java :D).
You can try in c++ in golf to solve the issue, and then migrate in another language (it is what i do too :wink: )

Like it is all fairly short programs, so things like being strongly typed or OOP are less important.
