Personally it is better to prototype with es6 above or /typescript. Python is great, but don't like the indentation format. Sometime I just want a line of code to be in certain level indentation if I'm just prototyping. At this day and age just skip node use Deno for prototyping.

I love typescript for prototypes. If I’m picking Python it’s because I’ve got loads of data to pipe around and its multitudes of awesome tools for those tasks are too hard to turn down. Otherwise I find typescript a lot more expressive, and I prefer having type “scaffolding” at the end which I can kind of finesse and finalize in a type system like Go or Rust’s without much effort.
