Is EDE only intended to be used with languages which /require/ a 'compile' step? [was: Re: IDE]

It seems to me that this assumption only holds for programming 
languages which require a distinct compile step in order to 
produce an executable program. If EDE isn't intended to be used 
with languages such as Python, JavaScript, Ruby, Lua, Perl etc., 
fair enough - but this should be made clear in this discussion and 
in the EDE documentation, so that developers/users wanting an 
Emacs-based software project management system for such languages 
can focus attention/efforts elsewhere (e.g. Projectile, 
project.el).
