There's also Java and .NET for those who want better IDE support, better dependency management (without recursively downloading hundreds of packages), and a more traditional language and more fully featured language.
PS: I came to statically typed languages as an adult, I actually disliked those languages before I had the lightbulb moment, so I think I might even be more qualified than everyone who hasn't managed to enjoy both sides ;-)

In fact, give how small pom files are and how little you have to deal with them (if you know what you are doing) I find it amazing how many comments I have had to read about "XML-hell" etc.
