So presumably you write all your non-web stuff in machine code? Compilers are pretty common.

Server side code is different as the server usually starts an interpreter that compiles the file on-the-fly in case it changed since the last pageview.

You may already be aware of this, but you can set up the same workflow for frontend development (if you have a compilation step). "Watch mode" seems to be the popular nomenclature for this in the JavaScript community.

Not all people do code anything else than JS web stuff these days.
