Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that enable incremental compilation of source code. Attributes of an intermediate language (IL) representation and a compiled representation of a source code are stored. Modified source code that is a revised version of the first source code is received. An IL representation of the modified source code is generated. Attributes of the revised intermediate IL and the stored attributes of the IL representation are compared to determine a first set of functions changed in the modified source code. A second set of functions in the first source code is determined that includes functions affected the determined first set of functions. The first and second sets of functions are compiled to generate a set of compiled functions. Compiled versions of the first and second sets are replaced in the compiled representation of the first source code with the set of compiled functions.
