I think that when you are doing exploratory programming and you're not quite sure about what you're doing you should have a language that gets out of the way as much as possible, which Python does. Ada and other bondage languages are for when correctness is most important or you need structure because you know the codebase will become large.

I agree with this, but am not sure it's on point. Every software engineering class I've heard of is about as far as you can get from exploratory programming.
