I've worked extensively in production services with both of them. I learned to hate both. Ruby stupid symbols vs string make code super error prone. Symbolize?

I've worked extensively in production services with both of them. I learned to hate both.
Ruby stupid symbols vs string make code super error prone. Symbolize? Wtf . Also mutable strings are a minefield.
Python semantic spacing is stupid, its bullshit and I've spent crazy amount of time fixing stupid "bugs" that a pair of braces and Ctrl+k F would fix in a second. Also why isnt there a freaking string.length function? Why a len operator? Why not a height operator? Or weight or whatever? Inconsistent.
Their late coming to static typing is soooooo funny . Apparently static typing is not that bad (having had to maintain a huge ruby system would make you WISH it was in some static typed language... even java)
Also isrubyfastyet.com ?
Anyways, both are ok , but I wouldnt build large systems with any if them.
