Who says that static analysis happens "later in the code-review system"? Static analysis does not equal (slow) data flow analysis. Actually, most people have a (very weak) form a static analysis which happens before the compiler: syntax highlighting. This can be expanded such that type checking and similar fast checks are integrated into the typing feedback loop. In my ideal world, the next (slightly slower) feedback loop should be the unit test which the developer is currently working on/against. Only the third-fastest feedback loop is a full compilation where compiler warnings would matter.
