title: Equivalent terminology for 'compile time' in Javascript
body: <p>The term <em>compile time</em> is used with compiled languages (such as C++) to indicate the point in which source code is going through the compilation process.</p>
  
  <p>The term <em>runtime</em> is used to indicate the point in which the application is opened and being run by a user.</p>
  
  <p>If, for example, we wrote a simple game that rendered terrain based on some list of vertices... if this terrain data was fetched from a server, I might say that the state of the terrain is unknown until <em>runtime</em>. However if it was envisioned that we'd only have one terrain 'model,' and configured that directly in the source code, I might say the state of the terrain is known at <em>compile time</em> (would I be wrong in saying this?).</p>
  
  <p>In Javascript, what would the equivalent terminology be for <em>compile time</em>? My own solution was to call it <em>design time</em>, however I'd be interested to know if there is correct terminology for this.</p>
