> I get that Python may be your favorite language, and that's fine, and that alone doesn't immediately qualify it as a good choice for anything, if you're being objective

Actually I believe you are incorrect here. From my reads, I think the research shows that factors that depends on the programmer still contribute more heavily to code correctness and success than static vs dynamic typing.

So I'd hypothesize that how much the programmer enjoys themselves when working and programming in a language on a given code base plays a significant role to the code quality, correctness and overall success.
