Yeah, truly interactive editing and incremental updates are something that srclib doesn't handle right now. We have some plans/prototypes around using presentation compilers, lenient parsers, and a persistent "src" process to provide the same kind of interactive editing support that IDEs have, but there's nothing in srclib or any of the language analysis toolchains yet. We are /pretty/ sure it'll be possible to get the kind of responsiveness you'd want.

If you have time to take a look at how we've implemented the existing toolchains and architecture, it'd be awesome if you wrote down any suggestions you have for how we could implement interactive code assist.
