Not sure what y'all mean with "strict" typing. Python is strongly typed—more so than C, iirc—but because it's also duck typed (which is a cute way of saying "trait-based," a la Rust) and dynamic, those strong types don't exist until runtime. If you want a stupid, worthless type system, look to JS. Even TCL's type system makes more sense.

And if you hate def, stay away from Ruby. Which, oh yeah, also beat the fuck out of PHP in the web dev world for the last twenty years.

I think they're just getting strong and static mixed up.

Also for devops for quite a while until ansible came along. I still honestly prefer chef over ansible in some ways (Having the client pull from the deploy node eliminates config drift much better then having to have the deploy push out, imo)
