Typescript is a lot nicer than Python in many ways. Especially via Deno, and especially for scripting (imports work like people want!).

There are some things that aren't as good, e.g. Python's arbitrary precision integers are definitely nicer for scripting. And I'd say Python's list comprehension syntax is often quite nice even if it is weirdly irregular.

But overall Deno is a much better choice for ad-hoc scripting than Python.
