This isn't the case for Zig, because the compiler works off a graph of declarations. You only need to compute the declarations referenced in a code block (which have well-defined sources, since you cannot create new decls at comptime right now) in order to compute the function itself. >What if the completion source is in a different file altogether? Well, yes, this is a very common case. I don't believe matklad is arguing that the computation should only be restricted to one file. From what I can gather from the article, these "working" and "ready" copies would be per-file as well and the "ready" states of each file would be invalidated as a referenced file gets edited.
