Note you don't *need* real time systems to get fast feedback loops, but batch systems breed an attitude of "it takes 18 hours to run so we won't know if it's broken for 18 hours".


So much potential in this space - generally, in analyzing program behavior during test/development runs to generate optimizations for prod. Reminds me in spirit of monkeytype.readthedocs.io/en/stable/inde…, which does similar for type annotations
