I've moved from Python to a static language and it's made programming enjoyable again. I'd forgotten that that was possible. It's much more productive as well. Using Python as a production application language is like playing operation. For me what I really detest is ambient, untyped (in the sense that they aren't declared in the function definition) exceptions. Exceptions can just happen on any line, and there's no way to know what exceptions a function will raise. So you have to dig into the source code of your dependencies and such, it's a tremendous waste of time and you still get unanticipated exceptions in production.
