Yeah, I laugh every time someone says interpreted languages remove the "compile time" step. Once you decide to start working at scale you have to come back and hack in all the static checks the compiler would have given you for free and in my experience those tend to be 10x slower. I know running the python linter + test suite on our basic enterprise CRUD takes longer than all but the biggest C++ projects I've ever seen.
