There's also nbb for Node. the REPL is instantaneous, it's almost annoying - sometimes instead of fixing some lopsided state in the REPL, I'd gravitate towards restarting it. And of course there are tons of libraries, well, some of them may not be of the highest grade, but for every mediocre choice there's usually multiple excellent ones. Also it takes some time to get used to everything being async, nevertheless, nbb is a great option for scripts involving e.g., web-scraping or testing with Playwright.
