As distasteful as leaky code is, is it that bad to run it in a separate process? You get a bit more robustness against crashes as well.

You want to be able to incrementally update state to get performance out of incremental code analysis (eg. language server implemention for IDE)

There are more ways to go then that: AST fragment caching, intermediate representation fragment caching and so on. Incremental updates fit some languages better than the others.
