Why are builds only triggered after save? #973

Why isn't it triggered while i am writing my code, why would i have to save to see my errors and warnings?

How would you like to run mix compile on code that exists only in memory and is not written to the disk? We could add running Code.string_to_quoted on in memory code, this would provide some syntax related diagnostics but full compile is IMO not possible.
