Unfortunately the average developer is alienated beyond repair. A significant % of developers make a living working on tools to address the lack of interactivity and poor feedback loop of mainstream languages, and actual interactivity is touted as a bad practice by the TDD fundamentalists.

edit: My advice to young and overly curious developers: never talk about weird languages at work. I don’t know what’s with it but you’ll trigger a visceral and almost violent reaction from the average developer who thinks their livelihood is in danger. It’s just not worth it. And no this isn’t fixed with joining a FAANG.
