I don't foresee this solving your problem in the least.  Unreadable or
unmaintainable code can be written in any language.

That having been said, however, you could do worse than Java for your
purposes.  After all, limiting the damage that large numbers of mediocre
programmers can do over an extended period is the one thing at which
Java seems to excel most.
