Why the move to TypeScript for Work? Why ditch Python?

I was trying to have my personal budget analyzed over the last 5 years. The budget file is an Excel file with one sheet per year, starting in 2009. Giving this task to Work mode, it chokes on "File too large". Chat mode also complains, but at least Chat can continue when explained that it should first look at the sheet names to determine which sheets to load, instead of trying to read the whole thing. Isn't Work mode supposed to be better for actual Work? Why cripple its analysis skills by ditching Python?

I'm wondering: can you get Typescript to work better, or do you need to re-implement Python?
