Language War - Scala versus Python

Note that in each case, Python has the smallest code. Generally, but not always, this means that people can address tasks quicker in Python.

For doing anything serious in Python, you will need unit tests. In my experience, they double the amount of code.

Haskell and Scala have static typing instead (and therefore need much less unit tests).
