Python – Easy enough to learn for non-technical types like data scientists, machine learning researchers, and those in the financial industry. PHP – Easy enough to learn, but man, what a mess! C – Pretty simple language, sort of a portable assembler. Java – Yeah, it’s verbose, but it’s not that hard to learn. C# – Java on steroids. Ruby – Easy enough to get started, but it can get tough really quick. Perl – Known as a “write only” language. JavaScript – This abortion of a language is a digital minefield for beginners. Haskell – The best and hardest way to learn functional programming. (Scheme is easier.) Swift – Big and complex. It’s a lot like Scala. (See Scala.) Scala – It’s not quite a write-only language, but it’s uncomfortably close. C++ – The biggest and most complex programming language on the planet. Is it any wonder that it’s the hardest to learn?

I don’t do impractical languages like Brainfuck, Logo, and Whitespace.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck Guess it's not the only "challenge" programming language , but for sure one of most popular.

@Anand krishna also , I don't agree about JS , it was super - fun and easy for the first time even as my first OOP. It became harder only like near real OOP stuff , basics was very simple and 'minefield' (if you're talking about some language "features" :D) is nothin' if you can simple check reference.
