You can totally write heavy duty things if you know what you're doing: use type hints, static checkers, tests, etc. It just takes a bit more effort and care.

But why would I use something that takes more effort and care?

I'm sure you're right and it's possible, but if I don't have to fix another python project at work I'll be in heaven.

Personally, my estimate doubles when we're asked to implement something in Python...

That's a proficiency matter. Python is the language I can get something done the fastest today, but 6 years ago that would be Java or even JS for me.
