The point about static languages is definitely well-made. Python's two key aspects are its lack of dynamism, its structural rigidity, and... oh, THREE key aspects!, because I forgot its famously rigorous static type-checking system. Coming from a C/C++ background myself, I found this very reassuring. I don't like languages that keep you constantly on your toes due to providing insufficient structure and too much dangerous freedom and flexibility.
