Excited compiler: you earn invitation for the night (4,5,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
your place or mine
'invitation for the night' is the definition.
(cliched chat-up line)
'excited compiler you earn' is the wordplay.
'excited' is an anagram indicator.
'compiler'+'you'+'earn'='compileryouearn'
'compileryouearn' anagrammed gives 'YOUR PLACE OR MINE'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
