  IIUC, this is about AOT but still using the JVM. This is a fix for slow warm-up, but in longer running processes the eventual behavior isn't different from JIT. Which is important in its own right, but very different from a hypothetical 'Java native' in the sense of 'Scala native', without a JVM at all.

    I believe you are right. Azul has released a JIT compiler based on llvm: http://www.infoworld.com/article/3193078/java/azul-introduces-llvm-compiler-to-java-runtime.html http://www.infoworld.com/article/3193078/java/azul-introduce... Also: https://www.excelsiorjet.com/ https://www.excelsiorjet.com/ and there seem to be open source projects like vmkit, https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian that are somewhere in between.
