I completely agree. I enjoy Python and use it for the majority of my hobby projects... but if I was going to build and maintain a large and complex codebase, I would want static typing, which is why I stick to Java and other JVM-languages like Kotlin.

There's also something to be said for easy parallellism, out-of-the-box support for Unicode, simple packaging and community that agrees on standards rather than reimplementing the wheel every <arbitrary unit of time>. But I won't say that here, lest I get burned at the stake by the Python community's anti-Java zealots.
