This has been my experience as well.

I often fall into the "Python trap" (you'd think I would have learned by now!): "this is a tiny project, almost a script, and it's so much nicer and faster to code it in Python. And since it's so small, who cares about static typing? Surely this won't grow larger". A couple of months later: "oh, no!" [1]
