I also prefer statically typed languages for projects that are going to exceed a few thousand lines, but the OP was complaining that Python is "huge" compared to Java, which is a claim I find curious and one I have never heard before.
In Python on the other hand it's all resting on good documentation and in the absence of it your work becomes a long journey of sleuthing the input parameters and the return values every step of the way, sometimes forcing you to read the original sources.
When it's already written I like Python code more but when it comes to writing it Java type system coupled with its tooling has no equal.
