We've gone so far that the promise of a simple scripting language like JS has multiple build and compile steps, and they're taking longer than a god damn C++ compiler. Who knew that if we just threw Clang in a browser we'd somehow have a more pleasant experience? On a related note, we use PHP at work. Same fucking problem. It's a scripting language, should be painless no? Wrong. PHP has awful performance characteristics, so we need to generate some code ahead of time. So we have a custom build step that uses Composer. That custom build step is SLOW. Probably because it was created by shitty PHP programmers and not the people who wrote GCC.
