JIT is in weird place now because according to a recent talk from PyCON US by it’s author, the tier 2 optimizer that prepares code for JIT reduces performance by 20% and JIT just recovers that performance loss.

A lot of langugage is still not optimized by tier 2 [1] and even less has copy and patch templates for JIT. And JIT itself currently has some memory management issues to iron out.
