Meanwhile, other languages have a JIT compiler which compiles code as it runs. This would be great for development even if it turns out to be slower overall.

Actually JITs can be faster than AOT compilation because they can be optimized for the current architecture they are running in. There were claims Julia, a JIT language can beat C in some benchmarks
In fact, JITs can be faster because they can specialize code, i.e. make optimizations based on live data.
