Python : don't get me wrong, it's a good language for quick prototyping and stuff, and I'll use it when it is the right tool ; but I do not want to use it for anything larger than that.

Reason is : maybe it's my fault, or my setup , but I tend to get a lot of type and param errors when developing which should ideally be caught at "compile" time... Weiredly, I don't get as many when writing js, even though that's also dynamically typed :)
Also sometimes the std lib API seems a bit wierd and inconsistent coming from other langs, but that's maybe more of me problem than of python.
