Why does default build process matter? Once you haven figured it out and automated it (say, using a makefile), it doesn’t matter whether you’re using a default build process or not.

Also, the likes of Haskell let you build binaries dependent only on OS provided libraries whereas the likes of Nim compile to C. You might want to play with the short listed languages to get an idea. A simple Hello World will tell you what they link with by default. Anything beyond that is up to you.

C, C++, D, Nim, Haskell, OCaml, Rust, Swift, Objective-C, Crystal..... the list goes on. Many of the languages have a native code implementation in addition to an interpreter or a byte code compiler — e.g. Common Lisp (SBCL), Scheme (Chicken Scheme), Kotlin/Native.....

Doesn’t LastPass Authenticator suffer from the same problem? If I understand correctly, they store the MFA secret in the same account — meaning if your LastPass vault is breached somehow, so is your MFA.

The last I checked, Swift is not supported on Windows — and Linux support is tentative at beat. I mean, only Ubuntu is officially supported.

That — and I am not a big fan of browsers getting more and more access to the hardware/OS over time.

Do you really want to compare Photoshop with VSCode?
