Some people still write code that is compiled.
- ATsch 8y agoand even if you don't, using a slow machine is still not a great experience. Opening a shell, reloading a page, switching tabs, running git pull, decompressing an archive, linting, building etc. All these things will take noticably longer to the point of being frustrating on a low-end machine.

- gmemstr 8y ago> super bloated dev environments Care to give some examples of this? I've been using compiled languages for a while now and I've never felt my environment had been "bloated".
- verhey 8y agoThat's a pretty massive assumption.
- imtringued 8y agoI've had the opposite experience so far. Eclipse IDE that uses 1GB+ of RAM? Compiles java code to bytecode instantly everytime you save. Sublime Text + gcc for a C++ project? Well, you have to live with the fact that sometimes a rebuild is going to take more than 5 minutes. In other words it has nothing to do with how bloated the dev environment is and more with the fact that some programming languages have features that can cause excessive build time.
