Yes. My attitude earlier in my life as a programmer was that moving as much as possible to "compile time" was a universal good. The truth is of course, like everything, there are trade offs. I once worked on an Elixir application whose configuration was accessed almost exclusively at compile time. This was done with the well-intended notion that saving runtime cycles was a good thing. It meant that changing any config (e.g.: "name of s3 bucket") meant recompiling the entire application. It also meant we had to wait for a full application rebuild in CI to deploy fixes for simple configuration errors. Not so super.
