I agree with you that using Python for very large projects might not be the best choice. I love programming in Common Lisp, and there are similar issues as Python.

For huge projects, I still think that Java is a good choice, and although I have only professionally worked on one Haskell project (medium size), I think that Haskell might be good if a team is in place who can use it. A new friend of mine in town is enthusiastic about OCaml, and after a few evenings of studying, I wish that about 8 years ago when I started Haskell I had chosen OCaml for a production typed language.

For Python: I really like Python for deep learning, reinforcement learning, quick and small semantic web apps, etc. The common thread here is that I am not writing much Python myself, instead I am exploiting large well tested libraries.

Do you mind writing a bit more about why? I have been a curious bystander in OCaml land but some of the differences with Haskell, like the lack of type classes, have pushed me toward the latter.

What are the strengths of OCaml when compared with Haskell?
