Its funny that companies like Google work so hard to make Javascript interpretation so fast. Yet people write in an abstracted dialect that needs to get compiled down to Javascript because of productivity, convenience, sexiness, or whatever else. So many layers...
A developer spends a lot of time debugging. Its so fun to write Jasvacript in the console. Yet we need source maps to solve the above problem in order to debug the code we wrote.
Some times I feel the amount of engineering we do in defining new frameworks, dialects, transpilers, etc would be better served writing features for our end users. No, we absolutely need that hammer++ to hit that nail.
