Uh, the one following hordes of brain-dead Java developers hand-coding getters and setters?

And is delivered 2 years later, requires 5 times more people and costs 10 time more to develop. And Python can be plenty fast if you use the right libraries.

What do I have to be bitter about? I get paid well to write Python, C and Go on bespoke and interesting back-end systems and don't have to attend daily stand-ups with brain-dead Java developers and Oracle DBAs and listen to them duke it out over who's fault it is queries are running slow. No thanks.
You don't seem to understand what "abstraction" means in computer science. Hint: it's nothing to do with memory management. High level languages like Python/Ruby actually have less abstractions than lower level languages like Java because they don't need them, and Python/Ruby programmers tend to want to get stuff done rather than write a ode to the Gang of 4 in XML.
Well if I asked your average brain-dead Java developer it would be to make your code more "generic" so you don't have to change a single line of code when requirements change, just tweak some XML somewhere!
And if there is one thing that Java developers are not, it is productive. I will usually be finishing off a project in Python while they are still coding getters/setters on their AbstractProxyFactoryFactory class.
