Ah yes, but at least the java package manager (maven) doesn't let me die of old age before it's done, nor does it create singularities on my file system 😆

(on a more serious note, hot reloading can alleviate much of what you mention)

In all honesty my experience of the tooling for Javascript was much worse than I've ever experienced with Java. Specifically adding a dependency via NPM would sometimes break my project build to such an extent that I had to start almost from scratch. At this stage I rather deal with "slow" Java than me having to start the same project everytime NPM crash my project.
