I often wonder the same. In '90 I helped build a primitive web browser, including an interpretive language. Used it to instrument a couple nuclear power plants. Displays were graphically rich, and had to load in < 1 sec and display real-time plant data. I don't ever recall waiting for my IDE (emacs) to start, or even waiting very long for a full build to complete.

When we have less, we make due with less. When we have more, we consume more. It's sort of like money.



Forgive the nitpick, but it is "make do", if only because "make due" reads very awkwardly in British English where "due" is pronounced as if it is spelled with a U and an E, not as if it is spelled with two O's


I learned something grammatical today.
