I like Python. The main problem with Python is though that although it favors simplicity
"Simple is better than complex." most of the time you end up with anti-patterns and complex code.
It assumes that we are all responsible programmers and we are not messing about.
In practice I've seen a lot of times this gets violated in favor of convenience.

Hi Joel,
In Rich Hickey's terms, I would say Python is an easy but not simple language.
Also, a lot of people seems to miss it, but Go is a static typed language. So maybe it is not about dynamic vs static, maybe it complex vs simple.
I would recommend to watch Rob Pike and Rich Hickey presentations that I link in the article.
Thanks for reading!
Daniel
