TRAMP can run commands in that remote context too, so any kind of compiler, interactive REPL integration works without any special support usually.

For example the built-in version control works the same as in a local context.

That's why it's called transparent:

> TRAMP stands for “Transparent Remote (file) Access, Multiple Protocol” — https://www.gnu.org/software/tramp/

it makes a big difference, imho... not as good as plan 9, of course :)
