Fast and uncomplicated automation of routine tasks, how easier?

Question

Programming languages

Hello, dear, I need your advice on
which programming language is more convenient to use if there is such a task:
in engineering work, there are various tasks that you want to automate, so that the second time everything is simple and fast - for example, a small calculation, or display some kind of ready-made text , depending on the given conditions,
it is not necessary that there be a beautiful interface, a console application is also possible, the main thing is that it works without problems in Windows and you do not need to install something with a tambourine for this, I tried several options:
C # - in Visual Studio - classes, methods, the language is quite complicated, I don’t want to go deep into it to solve simple problems
Java - wrote a program for the console, but did not understand how to make it simple so that it works in Windows ... also classes, methods ... why do I need them if I need a program with three formulas and a little logic ....
PHP - I don’t plan to be a web developer, I made one program, but again, I need to run the server on my computer ... I just need it under Windows for my own needs ....
JS - the same thing, and I also need to work with dom, I tried it, I did it, I need just under Windows ....
python - I haven’t tried it yet, they speak a simple language, but again I need it simply, quickly and under Windows ... I think ....
Please don’t judge strictly, since I’m not a programmer, this is a hobby, I can't find the right direction....

Answer 1

a puff server is needed only if there is a desire / need for web muzzles. and for this, the server already built into the puff is quite suitable. and for console application the server is not needed at all.
I would take puff for such purposes, if there is already his knowledge, or python, if you learn from scratch.

Answer 2

Depends on tasks. If you work intensively with files - powershell.
In c#, at a simple level, you don’t need to think about creating classes - the studio itself will write them for the form.
If you write gui, then you will need to think about using classes in python. As far as I remember, the gui library is not included in the python distribution kit - you will have to select and install it.
