And as someone who has coded both Python and Ruby on the job, and most recently Scala, I find the amount of time I'm debugging runtime errors much less in Scala, which is very valuable. I also don't feel the amount of code I am writing to be all that significantly larger than what I was writing in Python/Ruby.
