Am I correct when I assume that most of the people hating on Python here are using it for medium or big projects?
I feel like the dev community figured this out ages ago:
Statically typed languages are easier to read, harder to write, dynamically typed languages are easier to write, harder to read (and also harder to refactor).
For small projects (scripts, prototypes, etc), you don't care about readability, you just want it to be as easy to write as possible. Python really shines here.
For bigger projects, using Python is painful, but that's also the case with pretty much any other dynamic language..
