In my entire experience as a programmer, I can't recall writing a prototype that was not eventually used as production code. If I wrote prototypes in JavaScript, I'd have to start all over again to rewrite them in TypeScript. Meanwhile, people would be on my ass trying to understand why I can't just simply hook up that decent looking prototype to API and release it.
