No, because Chromebooks aren't meant to be good Dev machines. Just like feature phones aren't good at being camera replacements.

The difference between a camera phone and a professional camera is one of hardware. The difference between a Chromebook and a useful computer is one of software. Installing Debian on my Chromebook Pixel turned a pointless toy into a reasonable tool. It doesn't matter what software you install on your camera phone, the sensor and glass will still be shit.
