This means compiling dynamic code into binary. Using several intermediate representations it
is possible to keep track of type changes and switch between differently typed, but
logically equivalent, versions of methods.
This means compiling dynamic code into binary. Using type knowledge at run-time we
optimise and cache method dispatch for know types.
As the system is 100% in ruby, the ultimate goal is to carry on the compilation at run-time,
ie after the program has started.
