With an interpreted language like Python or PHP, if you notice a bug in the web app API logic or the UI script, you can fix it and test the change immediately. This is much faster than stopping to recompile and deploy every time, as would be required in a compiled language.
Without compiled binaries, the same source code can be deployed on multiple platforms without adjustments, as long as the runtime environment is consistent.
Many modern web frameworks (e.g., Flask, Laravel Vite) have features like "hot reloading," which automatically detect changes in code and reload the application without restarting. This is much easier to implement in interpreted environments.
While these advantages are significant, they may come at the cost of runtime performance and error detection, as compilation often catches errors early. However, for most web applications, the increased development speed and flexibility usually outweigh these trade-offs.
