I doubt you have done this kind of development. The advantages of fast edit/compile/run cycles are widely acknowledged (as are the advantages of compiled languages). Many development domains profit greatly from instant feedback. "Should I put more space here? Is the border too thick? Let's see". "Oops! I know why it's failing. I'm quickly going to fix the order of the arguments". It's great if you can do these things in 3-10 seconds instead of minutes. Not everybody is designing airplane control software.
