I can, on my local server, change the code, hit it again, and have my changes reflected in what happens. Doing that with Python, Node.JS, Ruby, or Java requires extra configuration. That's the point.

Rewriting a bunch of text files isn't atomic, so you need to take a planned outage or atomically rename the source dir so you don't serve 5xx errors from parsing half-written source. At that point you might as well have a deploy process, which can be as simple as "rsync && mv" into each host.

Indeed, but again, I don’t care about that while I’m developing locally.
