> Python/Ruby/Node have their beginner-friendly charms, but are limited by the lack of type checking and/or chaotic ecosystems. Don't know much about Python but at least for Ruby, the ecosystem is not "chaotic", it's just way faster moving compared to something like Java, which is stale af. It's quite easy to manage Ruby projects, I think the only disadvantage to this language is it's quite slow. But does it really matter? For most use cases it's just fine. As for the lack of type checking, I think that's a poor comparison. Type checked code is not always better than dynamic code, and dynamic code it's not always better than type checked code; They are different. Maybe for an army of junior developers leaded by a 90's senior developer with a mustache and thick glasses, a boring safe language like Java is the best. For a team of experienced developers with deadlines, Rails can get the job done in a quarter of the time.
