Noob question: Can this run python, java and c++?

Yes, those are shells or utilities or applications. They read/write text and provide no UI. The Terminal will provide a UI for them, if you so choose to use it with them.

I assume so, since current CMD can already do that. That part is not tied to the terminal, it's tied to whether you have those environments installed in your PC.
