> JIT has been used very successfully for a couple of languages, e.g. Java
I'm not at all disputing that - but its promises of "beating AOT" that we used to hear have not come to fruition. Where it really matters, e.g. HPC, you don't really see any JIT. C, C++ and Fortran still rule. And even for Java, you tend to be able to achieve equal or better performance with AOT compilers.
