> genuine question - can this be done in python in a production ready manner ?
It can, but without a type system you lose most of the benefits. You can put monads in there but if you refactor fearlessly the way you would in Haskell (without tests), you'll get production bugs.

Isn't that the same thing? Monads etc. are the reason to learn Haskell.
