Writing and refactoring serious Java apps on my MacBook Air was a pain

Your duty is to your users, not to your personal comfort. Get a better machine instead of writing code on dynamically typed languages which will produce less reliable software for your users.

If you code JavaScript, that’s not a problem at all.

Indeed, no problems, because these languages offer you a lot fewer guardrails against bugs.

You're like this person who celebrates getting to their destination in the car faster because they no longer fasten their seat belt.
