How are these mutually exclusive? If you want a server that automatically runs the most recent (working) build of a piece of code, it's rather straightforward to implement.

I don't want the most recent (working) build of a piece of code, I want to see in my browser exactly what I have on my disk, and I want to see it every time without worrying about caching or whether my build loop has finished or not.

Again, all problems that are pretty easy to solve with existing server-side build tools.
