For new programmers, I'd recommend Python, C is kind of hard because of pointers, so it'll just discourage absolute beginners, PHP encourages bad programming practices, and Java is too verbose like you just said.

That’s really good to know, thanks for telling us this! I’ve heard the same thing from other compsci bros in my classes.

Anon, go for Python first! :D
