Sometimes I miss the times where you had a compact development environment, wit one installer. Your source produced a mostly self contained binary in a reasonable size, you had nice debugging support and quick turnaround times for a compiled language even on a small development machines. And all that for attractive price for a perpetual license (Borland times).

Today it seems I have to give the producer my email address for the 'free' "Delphi History PDF". Well, times have changed. :)

Yeah I was interested to see the timeline but I'm not going through a spam wall to get it.

For me Go and Rust match this to a point. Especially Go once installed it generates executable extremely fast.

Yeah, no. None of those have built in debuggers, for example. I also doubt Rust compilation is fast on slow computers.
