Why would a compiler take up resources when you’re not compiling anything?


To show compilation errors as you type.


Why not show the UI immediately and start the language server asynchronously in the background, like Neovim does it?


That is possible, but if swapping happens due to memory pressure it can still cause slowdowns in unrelated parts of the same or other processes.


JetBrains IDEs do this.
