That seems like a waste of resources to perform a job that a static linter could do in nanoseconds. Paying to spin up a new VM for every test is going to incur a cost penalty that other competitors can skip entirely.

You are right that static linters are incredibly fast and efficient for catching certain classes of issues.

Our focus with the dynamic sandbox execution is aimed at finding bugs that are much harder for static analysis to detect. These are bugs like logical flaws in specific execution paths and unexpected interactions between code changes.
