I've been writing Python and Java(Android) side by side for a few months. I feel that for all the advantages of initial speed that python offers it takes a lot away. Especially in large projects. I spend a significant amount of my python time trying to understand Types, and if those areas are not covered by tests then I'm Fked, I'll have to spend hours trying simulate the exact conditions of how an error occurred. Don't get me wrong, I love python, but writing python requires a lot of restraint and experience. Novice programmers who build a python code base just screw things up, especially those who don't yet understand the value of readability and maintainability. I'd much prefer novice code on Java than on Python.
