Still the compiler has to deal with that. So one ends up with an interpreter in the compiler for very esoteric and hard to write/read language instead of just embedding an interpreter of a subset of Java.
One alleged benefit of Java constrained genetics is that they allow in theory better error messages. Still in complex cases even after over 15 years with genetics in Java the error messages are not that great. Zig to some extend delegates to the compile-time library authors responsibility of producing good error messages. But then the error messages can be improved without waiting for the compiler to improve its reporting heuristics to cover all edge cases.
