Its relatively easy to integrate the Fire/Elements compiler into other tools using scripting or build tools. You just need to work out the right command line - this could be better documented, but see here for an example

I did this in our Android Gradle script so that the Fire build just runs when you press Run in Android Studio (which is IntelliJ/JetBrains behind the scenes)
The downside is you have to jump back to Fire or XCode and hunt down the errors by line number.
