Man, I get that python is easy to write but maintaining deployed python code is some of the worst experiences in modern software devlopment.

Less Code != less buggy or more stable code, it just means more implicit code. I contend you spend way more time after release debugging runtime issues or patching random edge cases that are just completely eliminated in typed languages, or deploy/env issues that are eliminated in languages that produce a single binary.

Developer efficiency should include your support time after the writing code.
