I don’t understand what you mean by this, can you provide some more detail?

Why do we have byte code? Why not run everything in interpreters? Because parsing pure text takes a lot of work. So we store it in an intermediate mode to economize.

Saying just parse it every time is denying that there are very real costs associated with hat decision.

You can store the result of the parse in git if you want to.
