As developing new concepts in Tide is a somehow a slow task, due to the limited interaction it can have the developer, mainly breakpoints and watch variables.
I found that python language to be very similar to taiko, and helps me develop proof-of-concept modules that i then port to taiko, shortening the time it takes to develop and debug a new algorithm of function.
The python socket module and pyserial module, show some similatiries to Taiko sock and serial modules, and allow a easy prof-of-concept on your computer, before porting the application to Taiko.
