All the comparisons are with scripting and untyped languages perhaps for faster development and more intuitive eco-system to increase developer productivity. In the age of IntelliSense, auto-completion and AI assisted coding, does the choice of scripting and untyped language justifiable for increased in productivity at the expense of safety and reliability? If you're building data system not just for exploratory, surely modern compiled and typed system languages like Rust and D language make more sense for safety and reliability for the end users? Even more so with D language where you can even have scripting capability for exploratory and protyping stage with its built-in REPL facility [1],[2]. This is feasible due to its very fast compile time unlike Rust. It has more intuitive "Phytonic" syntax compared to other typed languages [3]. Yo

This approach is taken by https://github.com/dlang-community/drepl and https://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/repl/overview.html. While it works surprisingly well, you need to parse and transform the REPL input to emulate some language constructs in the right scope.
