Couldn=E2=80=99t editor code be compiled = as well? I understand things need to stay dynamic and redefinable, but a large portion would remain unchanged anyway for most of time and the things that would most likely be changed would be less stable and less low-level things that wouldn=E2=80=99t break other stuff wouldn=E2=80= =99t it?
