What's the compilation time impact of that?

Good question! I don't have hard numbers, but for larger files, I find that it can take on the order of a second to compile. It's still fast enough to get real-time feedback from TypeScript in VSCode, but it could definitely be faster. There's lots of optimization left to do; for now, we're focusing on features over speed, but we'll get to speed as well. (I am an algorithms guy after all!)
