Ironically, the slowest moving codebase I have ever seen was written in Python. It was impossible to "ship new stuff fast" without breaking things. I think Python works up to a certain size/complexity level, then it completely falls apart.

Yes; I've come to realize the yarn "Internal quality and productivity rise and fall together" is more true than I ever thought. And with python, (and IME most dynamically typed languages), the internal quality has far more ways to go awry.
