If we are talking about just-in-time, managed vs ahead-of-time, compiled-to-native, parts of the industry have already been changing course in last 5 years - even if not always with full commitment, but more of a "just in case".
Java and .NET platforms has been gaining ahead-of-time compilation support from the main vendors. Microsoft has been reviving C++ support. Various new programming languages with static-typing and high performance as a priority are gaining traction.
