Static typing and JIT compiling aren't mutually exclusive. You can do all the static analysis, checking, whole-program optimization, etc. that's feasible at compile time, compile to bytecode, and then do JIT compilation at runtime.
Edit: We appear to be in fierce agreement.
- scott_s 17y agoExactly! I thought that was implicit in what I said. Maybe in the future static-typing's benefit would only be for program correctness.
- stcredzero 17y agoStrongtalk. Google. Read. Been done.
- stcredzero 17y agoStatic typing and JIT compiling aren't mutually exclusive, though Static/Dynamic typing are no longer mutually exclusive either. We need to get past this idea already. (I mean we as a field, not present company necessarily.)
