I'm increasingly bullish on the JVM ecosystem. The runtime is amazing, performance-wise, and the third-party libraries are really good, if hard to get into. With Kotlin you can get null safety, and IntelliJ is the best code authoring experience for me.

I went from a java job to a python job and some days I really miss the Java.
I've written a lot of Python in my life, and it's been good. However I'm happy to leave dynamically typed langs behind for everything but prototypes/exploring a space. Life's too short to chase down prod issues caused by obscure error paths that are rarely hit.
