Also, why would you need to compile it more than the one initial time? Are you actually making changes to Luau itself, rather than just using it?

Think they meant their C++ bindings for Luau, not Luau itself.
No, I mean Luau itself. I distribute Luau as dll by default, but without the analysis module, to keep it small (~600KB). If users want to have analysis, they need to build Luau from source. Bindings are not an issue, since they use only C API from Luau, which is fast to compile.
