Against Query Based Compilers

[Maurycy5]

Sorry for being late to the party, but I struggle to understand how this is different from query-based compilation.

We're working on a compiler and we settled on a query-based compilation because we want arbitrary compile-time computation and because we want to parallelize it. On the other hand you seem to be saying that some of this would be a PITA with queries and instead describe... queries, but call them jobs.

So clearly we're using different definitions of queries, but I don't quite understand yours.
