"What you are describing is simply a JIT compiler."
The user is describing the opposite of a JIT compiler: a gradual rewrite of Python apps in Rust to feed into an ahead-of-time, highly-optimizing compiler. A JIT compiler would do quick compiles of Python code while it's running. The performance, reliability, and security capabilities of JIT vs AOT vary considerably with context. For predictability and security, I avoid JIT's wherever possible in favor of AOT's.
