   forward progress to me in front end dev is bringing more livecoding capabilities into it- show changes instantly, better visualisations of program state, pushing changes made in the debugger back into the source files.

   extra compile / build steps get in the way of that, and are going the wrong direction. adding a compile-to-js language completely sabotages live changes.

   and i see no signs of winding back this backwards progress

     I always thought that, instead of having ahead of time builds, when we need transforms, filters and combiners to do our useful work, it should be a dynamic server process with a cache.

     this does the same thing as builds but puts less burden on devs to maintain some complex build process.

     i guess i must be unique cos i dont see anyone else taking about this
