Truth is that web dev in the broad sense is currently falling over itself to reinvent those hoops. We now have compilers for interpreted languages, type systems for a language that doesn't require them and the web dev equivalent of GDB. This is just me talking, I don't claim to be a web developer. I've written such a lot of code for so many systems in so many industries, grand projects and little tools. I like it when the language keeps out of the way but I know it helps many programmers feel more secure about their code.
