> I have found Python to hit the sweet spot much better in terms of rapid prototyping, and providing a runway to making the prototype more rigorous and maintainable. I've found Swift to be extremely good for this. It might be hair slower than python to get a project up and running in that very early stage, but it has a similar feeling of "writing the intent of the program not the syntax of the language" and the type system and compile time checking help alleviate a lot of the growing pains you might run into when a project starts getting medium-sized.
