The Hook: Slow compile times are a major pain point for systems engineers. Jda's 42ms average compile time is a game-changer.

- Key Points:
- Why a single-pass compiler is "fast enough" and produces 1MB static binaries.
- The "Scripting speed + Native performance" workflow.
- Built-in ML primitives: Training neural networks in a language that compiles in the blink of an eye.
